This doesn't look totally wrong.

There are many examples in the source.  For example, look at any calls
to MacroAssembler::call_VM and call_VM_leaf.  Be aware, however, that
if you're calling this from compiled code most registers are live so
you're going to have to be extremely careful to save and restore them.
One of the advantages of using HotSpot's builtins for zeroing is that
we can know exactly which registers are used.
