[llvm-dev] New PM custom arguments

[Andrzej Warzynski via llvm-dev]

Hi,

This has come up on llvm-dev before. Min-Yih Hsu gives a really good 
explanation here: 
https://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2019-September/134974.html

The easiest fix for this is to use the Legacy Pass Manager. Otherwise, 
IIUC, opt would have to be updated to accommodate for this use case.
