[foreign-memaccess] RFR: 8227424: C2 assertion failures with debug build

[Maurizio Cimadamore]

So, I did some more investigation on the missing verifier error; with 
the help of the VM runtime team, we identified the issue: since the 
classes generated by the var handle generator are loaded by the boot 
loader, no verifier check occurs there.

So, my next move was to add -Xverify:all to some of the tests we have, 
and I'm seeing failures, some which have not been addressed by existing 
patch.

I'll take a look and submit a patch separately.

Thanks!
Maurizio
