 //       A trick to extend this to other platforms: create a new run block, so you have full
 //       freedom to restrict it as necessary for platform and vector features.
+//
+// TODO: Some compilation bailouts are to be expected, for example, we've encountered this before:
+//         COMPILE SKIPPED: out of virtual registers in LIR generator (retry at different tier)
+//       Which manifested in:
+//         compiler.lib.ir_framework.shared.TestRunException: <some method> not compilable (anymore) at level C1_FULL_PROFILE. Most likely, this is not expected, but if it is, you can use 'allowNotCompilable'.
+//
+//       It would be good to only selectively allow some bailouts. For now, we just have to do:
+//         @Test(allowNotCompilable = true)
+//       But after JDK-8378943, we should list only the expected bailouts, so that we can
+//       detect and investigate any unexpected bailouts.
