I also applied manualy (with some conflicts) your patches
from emails on bpf/next/master with merged tip/perf/core

and got following compilation error:

  CC       util/find_bit.o
util/annotate.c: In function ‘symbol__disassemble_bpf’:
util/annotate.c:1771:29: error: incompatible type for argument 1 of ‘disassembler’
  disassemble = disassembler(bfdf);
