Subject: [PATCH v5 19/30] objtool: Print headers for alternatives
When using the --disas option, objtool doesn't currently disassemble
any alternative. Print an header for each alternative. This identifies
places where alternatives are present but alternative code is still
not disassembled at the moment.
