CR for RFR 8178800

[Berg, Michael C]

Some additional notes, the vabsss and vabssd instructions utilize a test on src2 vs dst, this is required as the live range of src2 can end making it available for reuse, in such a case, we manage and use xmm0 so that we have a scratch register to utilize which will facilitate VEX encoding.

Subject: CR for RFR 8178800

Hi Folks,
Some support was added to enable a pass state of all validation tests for KNL for JDK9.  This support enables upper bank register usage for auto code generation for a small number of instructions (3) which needed some additional coverage under cases where servers do not enable vector length but have EVEX support.

This code was tested as follows: All internal validation tests at both Intel and Oracle.  This change needs approval for JDK9 addition.

Bug-id: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8178800
