This probably also needs `@SuppressWarnings("restricted")`:
Suggestion:

            @ForceInline
            @Override
            @SuppressWarnings("restricted")
            public NativeMemorySegmentImpl allocateNoInit(long byteSize, long byteAlignment) {

Suggestion:

    //   stateName can be anything non-null but should be in {"GetLastError" | "WSAGetLastError" | "errno"}

Suggestion:

                                          String name,
                                          MethodType type) {
