Constant opt cycles when running `LargePositiveIntegerTest>>testReciprocalModulo`

Problem could be a related to splitting, see example output:

This is still an issue in 1.0.0-rc7:

@eregon mentioned that there are new docs on how to debug deoptimizations:

If you see unexpected deoptimization in a Truffle language, I have added docs at https://github.com/oracle/graal/blob/master/truffle/docs/Optimizing.md#debugging-deoptimizations and there is also a new option --engine.TraceDeoptimizeFrame to trace frame deopts

It seems this got fixed along the way and is no longer reproducible. :)
