[aarch64-port-dev ] RFR: 8172144: AArch64: Implement "JEP 270: Reserved Stack Areas for Critical Sections"

[Bob Vandette]

I’m just saying that the test should run on both the Oracle 64-bit ARM port as well as the aarch64 port and shouldn’t
be excluded on one or the other implementations.

We need a better check than Platform.isAArch64() so we can distinguish between the Oracle arm64 port and the open Aarch64 port. I'm not sure what the answer is at the moment.
