> [JDK-8215133](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8215133) disabled vmIntrinsics::_dlog. Remove it now
> 
> ### Why remove
> 
> That Java  specification says:
> 
> "The computed result must be within 1 ulp of the exact result. Results must be semi-monotonic... whenever the mathematical function is non-decreasing, so is the floating-point approximation, likewise, whenever the mathematical function is non-increasing, so is the floating-point approximation"
> 
> There is no proof of the monotonicity of this intrinsics at the moment.
