This is because it's code I extracted from 8275202: I think it used to not be safe to call `PhaseIdealLoop::register_new_node` from within the `ResourceMark` but I see there were changes in that area (data structures used by `PhaseIdealLoop` no longer allocated in the resource area). So it looks like it could be changed now.

Right. Do you think it's better to remove the parameter that's used (for now)?
