8026049: (bf) Intrinsify ByteBuffer.put{Int, Double, Float, ...} methods

[Coleen Phillimore]

For the experimental option, I don't see why it has to default to false 
everywhere to be an experimental option.

But why not declare it in globals_arm.hpp as an experimental option so 
that you don't need to add code for the other platforms to turn it back 
off again?

Thanks,
coleen
