The logic in arguments.cpp only ensures the value of `jvmci.Compiler` is consistent with `-XX:+UseGraalJIT`. Actually checking the availability of Graal can only be done in the code I linked to and it's only done on the first Graal JIT compilation (JVMCI compiler initialization is lazy to reduce impact to VM startup time).
