In the grand scheme of things, it isn't *that* expensive, but it's still not cheap, and we seem to have grown a number of passes doing similar walks.  Can we merge this with some other walk over the module?

Hey, thanks for taking the time to look into this PR.
I looked around the pipeline to find passes that look relevant. I saw a few that didn't work because they are only enabled above -O0.
Then I found others that in principle would work, but all of those are so focused (`createGCLoweringPass`, `createLowerConstantIntrinsicsPass`, `createExpandMemCmpPass`, `createPreISelIntrinsicLoweringPass`, ...) that it felt wrong
to dilute their focus by adding the div/rem transformation.
Under -O2, we currently run 454 passes in the middle end and the backend combined.

Do you have a concrete proposal how I could address your concern?
