1. Run the memory legalizer prior to the waitcnt pass; keep the policy that the waitcnt pass does not remove any waitcnts within the incoming IR.
2. The waitcnt pass doesn't (yet) track waitcnts that exist prior to the waitcnt pass (it just skips over them); because the waitcnt pass is ignorant of them, it may insert a redundant waitcnt. To avoid this, check the prev instr. If it and the to-be-inserted waitcnt are the same, suppress the insertion. We keep the existing waitcnt under the assumption that whomever, e.g., the memory legalizer, inserted it knows what they were doing.
3. Follow-on work: teach the waitcnt pass to record the pre-existing waitcnts for better waitcnt production.
