[aarch64-port-dev ] Support large codecache for JDK8

[Edward Nevill]

Hi Andrew,

Did this patch ever make it into jdk8 (and/or jdk7)? One of our partners has reported problems with the Apace BigTop build which uses JDK 7 and sets -XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=512M. The problem seems to be a BL going out of range.

All the best,
Ed.
