Details see bug report. The gist is that HotSpot downgrades to UseAVX=2 on some processors, and reports supports_evex() == false, but the instruction decoder can still encounter EVEX instructions when (e.g.) hitting a SIGBUS in memset() - which does have EVEX instructions.
Testing:
- [x] runtime/Unsafe/InternalErrorTest.java
- [x] tier1
