(PR depends on #9923.)
Constants which reside outside code cache are not guaranteed to be reachable in
RIP-relative addressing mode from stub code, but absolute addressing mode requires a
scratch register.
Provide a scratch register to ensure constants are reachable irrespective of
process memory layout.
Make scratch register usage explicit to make possible conflicts with surrounding stub code explicit.
Testing:
- [x] hs-tier1 - hs-tier4
- [x] x86_32 hotspot build
