Could the JIT be started before JVMTI agents are loaded?

I generically mean things done by the VM_INIT event handler
in the agent's code. Could be more capabilities, could be
other "things".

The VM_INIT event marks a specific point in time during VM
bringup. Starting the compiler before VM_INIT would not be
right because that would change expectations. It might even
be a spec violation, but I didn't crack open the spec this
AM. Sorry, working on JavaFX stuff at the moment... :-)
