> `Unsafe::copyMemory0` intrinsic unconditionally inserts barriers arounds the call to `unsafe_arraycopy` stub.
> It is a conservative approach and barriers can be avoided in most common cases (similar to what is done for scalar unsafe accesses).
>
> `Unsafe::copyMemory()` performs argument validation which limits inputs either
> to off-heap location (null + absolute address) or primitive on-heap array.
>
> The only cases when barriers are still needed are:
> * mixed accesses (`Object+offset`);
> * mismatched access due to lack of type info on base oop (`Object:NotNull+offset`).
>
> Testing: hs-tier1 - hs-tier6
