For generational ZGC, this approach is not good enough, and we need barriers for the actual copying, but instead don't need the pre/post barriers. To prepare the JVM for generational ZGC, we need to add an API for arraycopy barriers.

Please don't alias rscratch1 and rscratch2. Many macros use them, and this is a bug waiting to happen.
