Could you please be add LIR_Assembler::store_parameter() on x86 to support metadata constant? Otherwise it kind of breaks the pattern used in CounterOverflowStub. I guess, it’s all just to produce a little tighter code by moving constant materialization to the stub, or is it something else? Any visible effects?

-#if defined(__SOFTFP__) || defined(PPC32)
+#if defined(__SOFTFP__) || defined(PPC)

 double SharedRuntime::dsqrt(double f) {
   return sqrt(f);
 }
 #endif

-#if defined(__SOFTFP__) || defined(PPC32)
+#if defined(__SOFTFP__) || defined(PPC)

   static double dsqrt(double f);
 #endif


So here is PPC defined if either PPC32 and PPC64 is defined?
