Probably as I assume you want to restrict deployments to the class path 
or module path. That is, I assume compiler implementation aren't going 
to be bundled with applications that are loaded into a running VM.

If you do then you'll need to call ClassLoader::getSystemClassLoaded in 
a privileged block.

The updated permission checks, to check JVMCIPermission, looks fine. 
Strictly speaking then the Services.loadXXX methods should need it but 
this isn't a general purpose service loading class so what you have is fine.
