It would probably not be a good idea.  Passes are called for each 
function in the callgraph.  If you stop immediately after your pass, you 
will leave all the other functions unprocessed.

What is it that you want to do?  If you need dataflow information, you 
probably also need to have the GIMPLE code in SSA form.

Well, it depends on what you need.  If your pass can work in high GIMPLE 
then you can insert it before that.  pass_lower_cf lowers control flow 
and lexical scopes, but not EH.

Perhaps if you describe a little bit what you are trying to do, we can 
give you a better idea.
