So here's the new version:

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~twisti/6961697/webrev.02/

This one is completely different to the ones before and much simpler.
The renaming part was moved to 6978355 and I only changed the order of
the code sections:  consts, insts, stubs.  The CodeBuffer works as
before and the memory layout is the same.  But when the CodeBuffer is
later copied into a CodeBlob the consts sections moves to the beginning.

I did a lot of testing with the changes of 6961690.
