This is the constant-time interface dispatch. If you look at
_Jv_LookupInterfaceMethodIdx you'll see it is quite small.
I think there's no way around doing some kind of lookup for interface
method dispatch.
As I recall the interface tables are built at runtime. So, yeah, you
probably need some reflection info around for all this to work.
