[11u] Downport closed changes?

[David Holmes]

FYI:

Closed bug: "8212608: Minimal VM build failure after JDK-8210498 
(nmethod entry barriers)"
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8212608
https://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk/jdk/rev/199658d1ef86

Used the wrong bug id. Should have been the open bug:

https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8212609
