Yes, it is expected that you write your own "interesting-ness" script.
However I don't think you can use llvm-lit (which requires a `RUN:`
command comment in the file that llvm-reduce does not emit). Instead,
take the command that llvm-lit would execute (Execute with -v flag)
and instead of the test file (%s in the `RUN: ` command), pass $1 to
the opt/llc executable within your script. Check whether it has failed
with `%?`.

I usually end up writing a short bash script which runs `path/to/opt $@
-foo |& grep 'the error/assert message'` and use that as the
interestingness test
