[8u-dev] Request for approval to backport: 8139421: PPC64LE: MacroAssembler::bxx64_patchable kill register R12

[Lindenmaier, Goetz]

Hi

I would like to backport this fix for PPC64le to 8u-dev:
8139421: PPC64LE: MacroAssembler::bxx64_patchable kill register R12
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/hs-comp/hotspot/rev/c6a1e7983723
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~mdoerr/8139421_PPC64LE_R12/webrev.00/
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/hotspot-compiler-dev/2015-October/019327.html

It is ppc64-only, so I don't need a sponsor.

Please approve this backport.

Best regards,
  Goetz.
