> **Description:**
> 
> VM crashes during startup on x86 when running with -XX:+UseAESCTRIntrinsics -XX:-UseAES. In this configuration, UseAESCTRIntrinsics may remain enabled while UseAES is explicitly disabled, and the VM generates AES-CTR stubs, hitting an assert(UseAES) in generate_counterMode_AESCrypt_Parallel().
> 
> **Fix:**
> 
> Update x86 flag initialization to enforce the dependency between UseAESCTRIntrinsics and UseAES. When UseAES is disabled, explicitly disable UseAESCTRIntrinsics (with a warning when it was set on the command line), aligning behavior with the existing UseAES/UseAESIntrinsics gating and avoiding stub generation with inconsistent flag states.
