The ZGC support is straightforward but the nmethod entry barrier required some reworking to fit better into JVMCI usage.  I also removed the epoch based barrier since it was no longer used with simplified the assumptions on the JVMCI side.  There is also a minor loom related fix to support post call nops included.  I could move that into a separate PR if that would be preferred.
