Currently, IN_NATIVE LRB generates a runtime call during parsing in C2.
This may break optimizations. It is known to break the
mirror->Klass*->mirror / Klass*->mirror->Klass* optimizations, and
possibly some others too (e.g. wholesale elimination of the barrier on
new/constant objects).
It seems better to emit the normal LoadReferenceBarrier, with a special
property 'native' instead, and only generate different
runtime-call-addresses.
The patch reverts the other C2 parts that I pushed for IN_NATIVE support.
