Consistency is good, but print_operand_value isn't very nice.  eg. a
displacement of -4 in hex is printed as 0xfffffffc (and even more f's
if 64-bit).  If we go to all hex, I'd like to see 8 bit displacements
printed as signed hex numbers, eg. 0xe8 prints as -0x18.  Perhaps you
could drop the 0x on values of -9 to 9.
