[LLVMdev] LLVM pass question

[Reed Kotler]

What I am thinking of now is to just register the MIPS116 and MIPS32 
DAGToDAGISel passes and then within run on machine function, I can just
return if the current mode indicates that mips16 is needed for example, 
so the run on machine function for Mips32 would return immediately.
