Ok, please remove the UNUSED at least.

> That said, since the eventual goal is to get rid of the static initializers as the means of registering classes, the long-term solution will be to have an InitializeLLVMPasses() method (or something similar) that takes a PassRegistry and registers all the core passes with it.  Then, if you later destruct that PassRegistry and create a new one, you can just call InitializeLLVMPasses() on it, in turn, and you will have successfully resurrected the registration.

Sounds good, do you plan to do this in the nearish future?
