Here's a plugin that at TB translation time, disassembles the
instructions provided via capstone. It doesn't do anything
with that info (vcpu_tb_exec is empty), but say a simulator
would pass via the *udata pointer some descriptor (allocated
at translation time) based on the instructions in the TB.

Note that the disassembly happens because we already have
a fully formed TB thanks to the 2-pass translation. Without it,
we'd have to (1) perform additional loads in the guest to read
instructions given the PC, and (2) guess when the TB would end
(recall that when to finish a TB is a decision internal to QEMU).

Thanks,
