I wonder whether the representation could/should be based on a vector
of struct mem_range's instead of a vector of instructions.  I'm assuming
the normal case is that we're disassembling ranges of more than
one instruction.  Just seems wasteful for something like

  (gdb) disassemble 0x3000000000,0x7000000000

to allocate so much memory.  But maybe I simply misunderstood.
