[10] RFR(S): 8185969: PPC64: Improve VSR support to use up to 64 registers

[Lindenmaier, Goetz]

Hi, 

you please need to send RFR to hotspot-compiler-dev for this.
The ppc-aix-port list is only for support questions around the ppc port. 
It is not for reviewing, as the ppc-port repos are all closed.
The reviewing must be documented on the hotspot-compiler-dev list.
This also holds for the other changes you posted.  
Please send RFR for the change Martin pushed to hotspot-compiler-dev, 
too.

Best regards,
  Goetz.
