Right -- attached in a follow up email.

THere are two sources of dump:
1) IR dump performed by pass manager
2) pass specific debugging dump (the verbosity is controlled by -details flag).
2) is the part that is messy and needs cleanup. Every pass just checks
if dump_file is null or not and decide to dump the debugging info --
there is no easy way to turn it on and off. Ideally, individual pass
should call
int debug_dump_level () -- dumps when it returns > 0.
With that in place, the dump flag -fdump-xxx-yyy-ir_only can be easily
implemented -- it only turns on pass manager dump, but lowers the
debug dump level to 0.
