Request for review(XS): 7013812: C1: deopt blob too far from patching stub

[Tom Rodriguez]

Actually, how does this happen?  deopt blob and patching stubs are created pretty early so how could they be that far apart?  The branch has a signed reach of 22 bits worth of words so it can reach +/- 8M.  How could there be 8M between the deopt blob and the patching stub?
