The old terminology "all-stack", referring to the infinite register mask bits, is misleading (as pointed out by @eme64 in https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/20404#discussion_r2316234008). The reason is that the infinite bits do not represent *all* stack bits. Some stack bits are instead part of the non-infinite bits of the register mask.

src/hotspot/share/opto/regmask.hpp line 166:

"infinite" hides the fact that these unbounded bits are stack bits and not register bits, but `is_UnboundedStack` or `is_InfiniteStack` might be too verbose.  How does `is_InfStack` sound?
