Ah yes, I forgot that was not dependent on hsdis. This would allow us to
generate assembler output with comments showing the presence or absence
of membars and the appropriate sequence of ld(x)r/st(x)r or lda(x)r or
stl(x)r instructions. The test driver could set things up to compile and
print a suitable test method in an othervm and check the othervm output
to ensure that the membar comments and generated instructions match up.

I'll work on implementing a jtreg test based on that but: I'd liek to do
that as a follow up to this fix.
