+/**
+ * Uses segment map to find the the start (header) of a nmethod. This works as follows:
+ * The memory of the code cache is divided into 'segments'. The size of a segment is
+ * determined by -XX:CodeCacheSegmentSize=XX. Allocation in the code cache can only
+ * happen at segment boundaries. A pointer in the code cache can be mapped to a segment
+ * by calling segment_for(addr). Each time memory is requested from the code cache,
+ * the segmap is updated accordingly. See the following example, which illustrates the
+ * state of code cache and the segment map: (seg -> segment, nm ->nmethod)
+ *
+ *          code cache          segmap
+ *         -----------        ---------
+ * seg 1   | nm 1    |   ->   | 0     |
+ * seg 2   | nm 1    |   ->   | 1     |
+ * ...     | nm 1    |   ->   | ..    |
+ * seg m   | nm 2    |   ->   | 0     |
+ * seg m+1 | nm 2    |   ->   | 1     |
+ * ...     | nm 2    |   ->   | 2     |
+ * ...     | nm 2    |   ->   | ..    |
+ * ...     | nm 2    |   ->   | 0xFE  |
+ * seg m+n | nm 2    |   ->   | 1     |
+ * ...     | nm 2    |   ->   |       |
+ *
+ * A value of '0' in the segmap indicates that this segment contains the beginning of
+ * an nmethod. Let's walk through a simple example: If we want to find the start of
+ * an nmethod that falls into seg 2, we read the value of the segmap[2]. The value
+ * is an offset that points to the segment that contains the start of the nmethod.
+ * Another example: If we want to get the start of nm 2, and we happen to get a pointer
+ * that points to seg m+n, we first read seg[n+m], which returns '1'. So we have to
+ * do one more read of the segmap[m+n-1] to finally get the segment header.
