Ok, well that looks good to me.

The only other thing that might be worth doing is to add a comment in
uses_implicit_null_check to explain that in C2 compiled code a null
pointer can sometimes be represented by (and, hence, dereferenced at)
address heap_base depending on how the architecture chooses to define
Matcher::narrow_oop_use_complex_address()?
