Though Leo did look at a wholesale conversion at one point (it turned out to be a little premature, since we didn't really have nullptr yet).  There are some places where there are strange overload games being played because NULL is an unadorned `0` on some platforms, and I think Leo found some places where the selected overload was even wrong because of that.  I certainly wouldn't a wholesale conversion of JVMCI as part of this PR.

Ok, I'll take this opportunity to convert some JVMCI code to `nullptr` and do more in subsequent PRs.
