This patch appears to have problems to get in, however I hope it will
one day.  Or is there something particulary wrong about it?

You won't be able to cancel it completely I guess, only for CSE2 pass.
The passes before flow don't expect autoincrements to happen.
Otherwise this sounds like sane plan to me.
