[LLVMdev] LLVM pass question

[Reed Kotler]

This seems to work okay.

I register both the Mips16 and non Mips16 passes of the instruction 
selector and then those return false if they are not supposed to be running.

Make-check at least passes in this case.

So in principle turn on the dual mode now and debug whatever misc is left.

For this I insert another pass before the mips16 and non mips16 passes.
