I do not think this is the best place to make the JIT space check, especially considering how expensive the check is. We already have a flush_jit_cache variable that gets checked when EmotionEngine::run_jit is called.

Since only recompilation can decrease free space, a better course of action would be to do the space check inside the JIT's recompile_block method. When the check fails, we can set the flush_jit_cache variable in EmotionEngine, which will not only prevent the prologue/epilogue blocks from being trashed but also provide a speed boost compared to the current method in this PR.
