We have to keep track of the initiating loaders for a class. Then if
we see a request for a class (when linking a class) via a class loader
already registered as an initiating loader, then we just return that
class.
That isn't too clear. The JVM Spec 2nd Ed. is a bit clearer.
Maybe we can't get rid of the registration after all. But we can
still add the explicit map in ClassLoader.
