So in that case I have no objections of downporting this instantly to 11u. We might even be ultra-conservative and make `-XX:-UseAESCTRIntrinsics` the default in the downport, but I'm not sure it that's necessary.

I hadn't considered that idea, but it makes sense to turn it off by default. The problem is, I guess, that many customers won't know about it, would have poor performance, and maybe blame AArch64 servers.
