/* This file contains a number of functions that do lookups of data held in

 * where we tried to look up a method, which in turn triggered method cache

 * deserialization, which acquired a mutex, which would block for GC and so

 * could end up with a collection taking place while spesh was working. This

 * broke the "no GC during spesh" invariant. */
