Hi Vladimir,

I'm wondering if there would be a similar intrinsic for the reverse decode case?

Also sun.nio.cs.ASCII$Encode.encodeArrayLoop() could profit from PACKUSWB intrinsic.
Maybe the mask, here 0xFF80, could be passed by an additional parameter, so the same intrinsic could 
serve for both.
Maybe Base64 coders could be considered too.

What about XXX$encodeBufferLoop()? Could there implemented a similar intrinsic?
