I'm not entirely happy with the idea of forcing this method to be 
identical to the objdump machinery.  In particular, the current objdump 
flags available to gdb are all prefixed by reg-names- and in gdb this is 
not accepted by gdb.

Further, there is another option in the arm disassembler-options command 
that is not available to gdb -- force-thumb.  Something like this is 
needed for gdb, but not at this level.  For gdb a proper flag that is 
visible to the rest of the debugger, not just the assembler is needed.  
Further, that flag needs to be a 3-state one, ARM, Thumb and auto.  
Forcing the state will affect things like breakpoint insertion etc.

I think I'd rather keep the option as "set arm disassembler" to make these 
distinctions clear.  Thoughts?
