 In the trampoline, we can take eax, which will hold the MonoVTable for the
 class. Then, we can decode method_offset. From there, we will know what
 MonoMethod* we want to compile. Thus, the trampoline is not specific to the
 virtual call.
 
 Jikes uses this technique, and probably other runtimes do as well.

+This makes it impossible to have a fast ldvirtftn which jikes doesn't
+need to support. It also requires the code to disassemble more
+of the instrictions which can't be safely done on x86 unless
+starting from the beginning of a method (think interface calls,
+aot-generated code etc).
