[8u-dev, ppc] RFR for (almost clean) backport of 8158232

[Gustavo Romero]

Hi Ogata,

Thanks for the backport and for the webrev.

I understand that offset adjustments in general, and particularly for this
backport, are not considered a change that needs to be reviewed again.

That said, and although I'm not a Reviewer, I tested it against SPECjvm and
microbenchmarks for byte, int, and long and reviewed the change for jdk8u-dev.

It looks good.

Please, provide a "Fix Request" comment to the original bug explaining that
the backport is low risk and affects PPC64-only, accordingly to [1] and [2].
Then please add the label "jdk8u-fix-request" to it.

Once the approval to push is granted I'll sponsor the change.

Thank you.

Best regards,
Gustavo
