Overall, it looks very good.
Thanks for taking care of compiler part, David.

I think it makes sense to remove lir_div_strictfp and lir_mul_strictfp in C1 as well:
  https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/4027

Feel free to incorporate the patch into the current PR if you agree with the change.
(Passed hs-tier1 - hs-tier4 testing and x86_32 build.)

Otherwise, I'll handle it as a separate PR.
