Frankly, I didn’t know that there is an overload for call_VM_leaf_base in InterpreterMacroAssembler.  So this means there are two options:

a)  Add a method in MacroAssembler to call MacroAssembler::call_VM_leaf_base (what you did) or

b)  Add InterpreterMacroAssembler::call_VM_leaf and change MacroAssembler::call_VM_leaf to do:

void MacroAssembler::call_VM_leaf(address entry_point, int number_of_arguments) {
  MacroAssembler::call_VM_leaf_base(entry_point, number_of_arguments);
}

I will let the runtime team decide.

As long as stubs are only generated during startup and don't have a method context - that is ok - but it doesn't belong in the compilerDirectives-files if it doens't use directives.
