This is good, except if both 'insn' and 'disasm' are used together.
It either:
a) without libcapstone, prints insn bytes twice
Probably simpler to make 'disasm' without libcapstone
a fatal error explaining that perf needs to be built
with libcapstone support for 'disasm' to work.
b) with libcapstone, disassembly does not line up nicely
