a module-specific interface. This is the first of many steps necessary to generalize the infrastructure such that we can support both a Module-to-Function and Module-to-SCC-to-Function pass manager nestings. After a *lot* of attempts that never worked and didn't even make it to a committable state, it became clear that I had gotten the layering design of analyses flat out wrong. Four days later, I think I have most of the plan for how to correct this, and I'm starting to reshape the code into it. This is just a baby step I'm afraid, but starts separating the fundamentally distinct concepts of function analysis passes and module analysis passes so that in subsequent steps we can effectively layer them, and have a consistent design for the eventual SCC layer. As part of this, I've started some interface changes to make passes more regular. The module pass accepts the module in the run method, and some of the constructor parameters are gone. I'm still working out exactly where constructor parameters vs. method parameters will be used, so I expect this to fluctuate a bit. This actually makes the invalidation less "correct" at this phase, because now function passes don't invalidate module analysis passes, but that was actually somewhat of a misfeature. It will return in a better factored form which can scale to other units of IR. The documentation has gotten less verbose and helpful. llvm-svn: 195189
