Since AMDGPUDAGToDAGISel is ultimately a normal MachineFunction pass, I'm able to get the interprocedural analysis pass there but don't have a way to pass this into the call lowering where it's actually needed.

Another option might be to store a pointer to the SelectionDAGISel pass in SelectionDAG, so then there's a way to access the pass to get analysis directly. Is there another option?

I didn’t need to do anything special. addRequired/getAnalysis work.
