+A <tt>MachineFunctionPass</tt> executes on the machine-dependent
+representation of each LLVM function in the program,
+independent of all of the other functions in the program.
+A <tt>MachineFunctionPass</tt> is also a <tt>FunctionPass</tt>, so all
+the restrictions that apply to a <tt>FunctionPass</tt> also apply to it.
+<tt>MachineFunctionPass</tt>es also have additional restrictions. In
+particular, <tt>MachineFunctionPass</tt>es are not allowed to do any of
+the following:
+
+<ol>
+<li>Modify any LLVM Instructions, BasicBlocks or Functions.
+<li>Modify a MachineFunction other than the one currently being processed.
+<li>Add or remove MachineFunctions from the current Module.
+<li>Add or remove global variables from the current Module.
+<li>Maintain state across invocations of
+ <a href="#runOnMachineFunction"><tt>runOnMachineFunction</tt></a> (including global data)
+</ol><p>
