RFR(S): 8183571: PPC64 build broken after 8178499

Sorry for multiple mails, but I now also see that you added other 
unrelated changes:

    OopMapSet* oop_maps = new OopMapSet();

You can count me as a Reviewer for the align issues caused by 8178499, 
but you need to leave the rest out of this patch if you want to use me 
as a Reviewer.
