The code included via BUILTIN_SIM was only ever relevant to JDK8. We
used the BUILTIN_SIM paths to bootstrap the AArch64 code on x86 (it
makes the JVM jump into an AArch64 simulator whenever it enters JITted
AArch64 code and back again when it calls out to non-JITted code :-).

The BUILTIN_SIM code no longer works in JDK8. It was upstreamed into
JDK9 wholesale along with all other changes ti support AArch64. However,
the upstreamed BUILTIN_SIM code never worked in JDK9. A separate JIRA to
address its removal from both JDK8 and JDK9 code bases might be worth
raising but that problem should not be allowed to hinder this fix.
