> The goal of this PR is to implement an x86_64 intrinsic for java.lang.Math.cbrt() using libm.
> 
> The results of all tests posted below were captured with an [Intel® Xeon 6761P](https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/241842/intel-xeon-6761p-processor-336m-cache-2-50-ghz/specifications.html) using [OpenJDK v25-b21](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/releases/tag/jdk-25%2B21) as the baseline version.
> 
> For performance data collected with the built in **cbrt** micro-benchmark, see the table below. Each result is the mean of 8 individual runs. Overall, the intrinsic provides a performance uplift of 37%.

> | Benchmark        | Throughput with baseline (op/s) | Throughput with intrinsic (op/s) | Speedup |
