Apparently “less” is not used by clang, do you want your optimization to be turned on for O1 *and above* or just for O1 specifically?

Also what kind of optimization is this? A SelectionDAG combine or a specific pass? If it is a pass, is it IR or MIR?

> The TargetMachine is constructed with “CodeGenOpt::Default”. Is there a way I could do this in LLVM ? What is the standard way of doing this ? Also, the code in BackendUtil.cpp seem somewhat offbeat to me.
