[LLVMdev] LLVM pass question

I'm implementing this ability to switch between mips16 and mips32 on a 
per function basis.

One issue that I've run into is regarding the DAGToDAGIsel pass.

We have a different subclass for mips16 and non mips16 ( conceivably 
later there could be a separate one for micromips).


I need to run a different pass depending on whether it's mips16 or mips32.

My initial plan was to create a dummy ModuleDAGToDAGIsel whose sole 
purpose in it's run machine function was to decide which one of these
to run and then call an appropriate DAGToDAGIIsel but I'm running into 
some issue where that class wants to be started up by the pass manager
and not another pass.

So now I'm think that maybe I should have either:
1) The ModuleDAGToDAGIsel pass add another pass.
2) Maybe create two passes, one for Mips16 and one for Mips32 and have 
them be dependent on the ModuleDAGToDAGISel pass and then turn them on 
or off depending on which one needs to be run for this function.

I'm reading the pass code now to understand this better but thought that 
someone might know the answer.

Tia.
