This routine was used as part of an optimization of  [pd_fill_to_aligned_words](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/commit/644620568827ddd5f5a4dc130d615ed6fd915c2d#diff-fe8c06a22855cd5f58f908f73109212d77cca26ec0c422d90496ebeedefe770d) on SPARC. I'm not sure how this method looks in your source tree now since all the flags that control this has been dropped from the mainline.
