This can leak to deadlocks if you use JVMTI to suspend all threads since this will block the compiler queue and can block execution if background compilation is disabled.  It's reasonable to treat libgraal threads like native threads in this regard.  Making jargraal threads hidden too would interfere with using profiling and debugging tool on them so I've left that alone but it might be worth changing the JVMTI suspend and resume functions to explicitly skip compiler threads as well.
