No, I think we should be doing PGO at O0 in the new PM if we do so in the old 
PM.

I think Rong is saying that the *way* you're enabling PGO at O0 isn't correct 
to fix this test case. That seems plausible to me at least, and I think 
reverting and figuring out what the right way to do it is a fine approach.

I just think we also need to understand why *no other test failed*, and why the 
only test we have for doing PGO at O0 is this one and it could be "fixed" but 
such a deeply unrelated change....
