On some architectures we get into trouble when it comes to code patching of e.g. load-
offsets which are to big to fit into the previously generated instructions.

We need to change our backends to generate more conservative code for unresolved
instructions.

The problem is now finally fixed for ICMD_INVOKEINTERFACE on ARM. But ICMD_INVOKEVIRTUAL
is still missing, but was not triggered so far.
