So, in tools/perf/arch/s390/annotate/instructions.c you have that
function s390__associate_ins_ops() where it sets the handler for the
"brasl" asm instruction to be 'call__ops', what I am proposing is that
instead you provide a brasl__ops and use it, this ops knows that it is a
'call', but the target is not where call__ops expects it to be, thus we
have a separate ops for that, got it?
