> This implements loading the Klass* from object header (instead of dedicated Klass* field) in C1 generated code. It introduces a new C1 LIR opcode (LoadKlass) and related CodeStub for the slow-path runtime-call.
> 
> The original implementation was brittle in that it emits the decode_klass() whenever it encounters a load that is T_ADDRESS and from klass_offset_in_bytes() (e.g. 4 or 8). Lucky that we did not seem to emit any unrelated such loads. This new implementation uses a dedicated C1 op instead, and expands this to the corresponding load of the header word, and call into slow-path upon fast-path-failure, in the LIR assembler.

>  - [ ] tier4 (x86_64,x86_32)
