I also wonder about making 'mcount' command separate from 'check'. Similar 
to what is 'orc' now. But that could be done later.
I'm not convinced more commands make sense. That only begets us the
problem of having to run multiple commands.
Agreed, it gets hairy when we need to combine things.  I think "orc" as
a separate subcommand was a mistake.

We should change to something like

  objtool run [--check] [--orc] [--mcount]
  objtool dump [--orc] [--mcount]
