[aarch64-port-dev ] RFR(L): AARCH64 support for lworld v.06

[Dmitry Samersoff]

Hello Everybody,


Please review v.06 of adding AArch64 support to lworld branch

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~dsamersoff/valhalla_lworld_aarch64/webrev.06/

What was done:

  1. Adopted changes in shared code and fixed compilation errors

  2. Removed all DMS CHECK kludges (but some of them become FIXME)

  3. All the code needed to support value pack/unpack logic
     is in place.


Problems left:

   There are couple of bugs mostly related to register usage while we
pack/unpack values.

   Therefore, ValueTypePassFieldsAsArgs/ValueTypePassFieldsAsArgs is
still hardly disabled for aarch64


Testing (the same as for v.05):

   All tests in runtime/valhalla/valuetypes and in
compiler/valhalla/valuetypes/ are passed

   compiler/valhalla/valuetypes/TestMethodHandles.java
   compiler/valhalla/valuetypes/TestBasicFunctionality.java

   are passed after manually tweaking of output patterns, I have not
found a way to support both x86 and aarch64, so these tests remain
unchanged and run on x64 only.
