No, that's not true.

This error indicates that pass manager is not able to schedule your  
pass.

  918   // Module Level pass may required Function Level analysis info
  919   // (e.g. dominator info). Pass manager uses on the fly  
function pass manager
  920   // to provide this on demand. In that case, in Pass manager  
terminology,
  921   // module level pass is requiring lower level analysis info  
managed by
  922   // lower level pass manager.
  923
  924   // When Pass manager is not able to order required analysis  
info, Pass manager
  925   // checks whether any lower level manager will be able to  
provide this
  926   // analysis info on demand or not.
  927   assert (0 && "Unable to handle Pass that requires lower level  
Analysis pass");


What is the skeleton of your pass structure ?

Use -debug-pass=? argument on the llc command line to understand what  
pass manager is trying to do. Try 'llc --help-hidden' for more info.
