> The `arraycopy` writes to a non escaping array so its `ArrayCopy` node
> is marked as having a narrow memory effect. One of the loads from the
> destination after the copy is transformed into a load from the source
> array (the rationale being that if there's no load from the
> destination of the copy, the `arraycopy` is not needed). The load from
> the source has the input memory state of the `ArrayCopy` as memory
> input. That load is then sunk out of the loop and its control is
> updated to be after the `ArrayCopy`. That's legal because the
> `ArrayCopy` only has a narrow memory effect and can't modify the
> source. The `ArrayCopy` can't be eliminated and is expanded. In the
> process, a `MemBar` that has a wide memory effect is added. The load
> from the source has control after the membar but memory state before
> and because the membar has a wide memory effect, the load is anti
> dependent on the membar: the graph is broken (the load can't be pinned
> after the membar and anti dependent on it).
> 
> In short, the problem is that the graph is transformed under the
> assumption that the `ArrayCopy` has a narrow effect but the
> `ArrayCopy` is expanded to a subgraph that has a wide memory
> effect. The fix I propose is to not insert a membar with a wide memory
> effect. We still need a membar when the destination is non escaping
> because the expanded `ArrayCopy`, if it writes to a tighly allocated
> array, writes to raw memory and not to the destination memory slice.
