Looks reasonable to me, but I don't know this code.  Spotted a couple
of typos:

412              // is interesting in NULL.

Change to interesting to interested.



432           assert((*loc) == (oop)NULL || Universe::narrow_oop_base() != (address)(void*)(*loc),
433                  "found non valid value pointer");

Change "non valid" to invalid.

FWIW, I also like Paul's suggestion of is_narrow_oop_base(void*).
