Hi @caizixian, thanks for review!
In a compiler (e.g. llvm) these alias need to be preserved because the assembly file only has instruction names, but does it also need to be preserved in a virtual machine like openjdk?
If these older assembly mnemonics need to be retained as aliases, I think we can add it inside the macro assembler.
