review (S) for 6793828

[John Rose]

Reviewed.

I agree that it's surprising that safepoints don't modify raw memory.   
A pure safepoint cannot change managed pointers (as far as the  
compiler can see) so I would think that it would modify *only* raw  
memory.  I don't remember how we got to this design...
