These new instruction versions generate machine code accordingly to the corresponding tagged barrier information, relying on the G1 barrier implementations provided by the `G1BarrierSetAssembler` class. In the aarch64 platform, the bulk of the ADL code is generated from a higher-level version using m4, to reduce redundancy.

> Both platforms basically reuse the barrier implementation for the bytecode interpreter, with the different barrier tests and operations refactored into dedicated functions. Besides this, `G1BarrierSetAssembler` is extended with assembly-stub routines that implement the out-of-line, slow path of the barriers. These routines include calls from the barrier into the JVM, which require support for saving and restoring live registers, provided by the `SaveLiveRegisters` class. This c...
