However, `Integer.reverseBytes()` depends on higher-order bits of an integer and should be prevented from being narrowed and vectorized. Instead, it needs to be treated like `Math.abs()` (which is represented by `Op_AbsI` in the following code).

Thank you for testing. I submitted our internal testing too. After it complete I will sponsor changes.
