When limiting the modules of a runtime image via --limit-modules to a restricted subset, the VM can't initialize in graal mode due to missing module jdk.internal.vm.compiler.

The issue can be demonstrated with test cases
langtools/tools/javac/file/LimitedImage.java
langtools/tools/javac/modules/InheritRuntimeEnvironmentTest.java

when run with graal switches:
-XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions -XX:+EnableJVMCI -XX:+UseJVMCICompiler -Djvmci.Compiler=graal

It should be possible to create a simpler test case for this, e.g. call a hello world on a limited runtime.
