I looked at some more tests and I saw that they were using `@requires vm.flavor == "server" & (vm.opt.TieredStopAtLevel == null | vm.opt.TieredStopAtLevel == 4)`, which looks like a good way to check for any tier4 compiler. I've updated the patch to use that method instead, which should let it run on graal as well.

I think it's good to go in since you only exclude it from running in the problematic scenarios.
