Right, looks like leftovers after verifying which passes were actually
applied. My bad, could be removed.

My understanding was that while mem2reg is included everywhere above
-O0, this set of passes won't hurt. But yeah, if you say it could
degrade the final result, it's better to not do this. I'll update this
part.
