Summary

This patch adds a new variant of the matrix lowering pass that only does
a minimal lowering and only depends on TTI. The main purpose of this pass
is to have a pass with minimal dependencies to run as part of the backend
pipeline.

At the moment, the only difference to the regular lowering pass is that it
does not support remarks. But in subsequent patches add support for tiling
to the lowering pass which will require more analysis, which we do not want
to run in the backend, as the lowering should happen in the middle-end in
practice and running it in the backend is mostly for convenience when
running llc.

Needs a comment of its purpose. You should mention -O0 here and in the commit.

I've updated the O0 case to use it (just committed that today). D76858 will use it in the backend pipeline. I think the description should already mention that the intention is to use it in the backend pipeline, without having to compute DT/AA there. Should I add more details?

Update recently added -O0 test to show the difference in passes executed.

Maybe that that is in a separate patch, up to you.

LGTM!
