Hi Tony,

Not a review as hotspot compiler folk need to review this.

This may be normal for intrinsics but there seems to be a large amount 
of shared code being updated to support these platform specific 
enhancements. What happens on other platforms if the user sets 
UseGHASHIntrinsics? Shouldn't there be a guard against this in 
arguments.cpp?

Thanks,
David
