During preimage dumping all the fast bytecodes will be converted to nofast version because the CP entries are not resolved. So in the assembly phase `*bcs.bcp()` would be nofast version. If the CP entry is resolved, we can convert it to fast version. And we determine the type of the fast version using `tos_state` of the resolved field entry. So the `new_code` will be different than the `*bcs.bcp()` in the assembly phase.
They may be same when dumping dynamic archives, but not when dumping static archive or the final AOTCache.
Does that help?
