> Every platform except ARM32 and Zero have all these entries set up, so offset are always sane. But those two platforms set up `nullptr` as `c2i_no_clinit_check_entry()`, because clinit barriers are unimplemented. So the new assert added in [JDK-8364269](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8364269) fails encountering effectively `nullptr - i2c_entry` "garbage".
> 
> This PR is the second least horrible (IMO) fix for this: relaxing assert by checking that "out of range" values are actually wrapping around back to `0`/`nullptr`. Had to do it in unsigned ints to avoid UB. For the affected platforms, we do not actually access this problematic/garbage entry offset, since we are always checking if clinit barriers are enabled. So the assert is the only place where it matters.
> 
> The least horrible solution would be storing the actual `address`-es instead of `int` offsets. But that likely has footprint implications.
> 
> Additional testing:
>  - [x] Linux x86_64 server fastdebug, `runtime/cds` still works
>  - [x] Linux ARM32 server fastdebug, `java -version` now works
