This just isn't supported by the existing pass management machinery. There
is no viable way to run them outside of the LLVM pass managers.

There is work to replace this part of LLVM's infrastructure and it will
make some of these kinds of things more obvious, but there will still be
requirements for passes to operate on dependencies.
