Perf annotate supports --symbol but it's impossible to filter
a C++ symbol. With --no-demangle one can filter easily by
mangled function name.

Nope, this _enables_ demangling, i.e.:

	perf annotate --demangle

Asks for symbol demangling, while:

	perf annotate --no-demangle

As you correctly wrote in your commit message and on the
--demangle-kernel case, enables demangling.

Please consider making this configurable (if not already) via
~/.perfconfig, 'perf config', sure in a followup patch.

Thanks,
