> (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
