Trap indices

[John Rose]

If you are talking about the trap indexes in deoptimization.hpp, they  
are constant pool indexes in the caller.  If the trap pertains to a  
constant in the caller's constant pool, this is the relevant  
information.  Other kinds of traps have less informative markings,  
such as "unexpected type", "null check", etc.  The method/bci is  
always available for inspection.
