Currently PcDescCache (32 bytes: PcDesc* _pc_descs[4]) is allocated in `nmethod` header.
Investigate possibility to move it to C heap similar to ExceptionCache to reduce size of `nmethod` header and remove WXWrite transition when we update the cache in `PcDescCache::add_pc_desc()`
Main concern is performance because we will add one pointer load to each query.
