The goal for this fix is to improve performance in pathological cases, while keeping non-pathological cases out of extra risk, *and* staying simple enough and reliable for backports to currently supported JDK releases.

That is why, for example, we cannot easily do x86_32 version: we need a thread, so the easiest way would be to call into VM. But we cannot that easily: the code blowout would make some forward branches in external code non-short. I think we we cannot implement this mitigation on some architectures, so be it, it would be a sensible tradeoff for simplicity.
