I've being testing this in the same way, but without any rust code --
just on a simple datasym workload. Surprisingly, it seems that
'data-type: buf' marks are disappearing even in this case starting from:

c31040085914f1188720073baa43d1483693c0a3 (perf dwarf-regs: Clean up x86
dwarf_regnum code)

I'm not sure yet why this is happening, but don't see anything in the
commit mentioning that -- since there are no code-with-type tests yet,
maybe an unexpected side effect?
