So we may now encounter this bug for heaps larger than 8TB (which is supported).

The proposal is that we solve this for ppc and riscv by doing the same thing we did for aarch64 in [JDK-8330275](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8330275)

Thanks. I tried some non-trivial benchmark workloads with ZGC on linux-riscv64, seems to work.
