RFR(L): 8081247 AVX 512 extended support code review request

[Vladimir Kozlov]

Hi, Michael

assembler_x86.cpp:

I don't like that you replaced prefix method with few parameters with 
method which has a lot of them:

-  int encode = vex_prefix_0F38_and_encode_q(dst, src1, src2);
+  int encode = vex_prefix_and_encode(dst->encoding(), src1->encoding(), 
src2->encoding(),
+                                     VEX_SIMD_NONE, VEX_OPCODE_0F_38, 
true, AVX_128bit,
+                                     true, false);

Why you did that?


stubGenerator_x86_64.cpp:

Can we set different loop limit based on UseAVX instead of having 2 loops.

x86.ad:

Instead of long condition expressions like next:

UseAVX > 0 && !VM_Version::supports_avx512vl() && 
!VM_Version::supports_avx512bw()

May be have one VM_Version finction which does these checks.

Thanks,
Vladimir
