Thanks a lot, Goetz! I am grateful for your tests, which sound quite
helpful to find corner cases.

Hi Michihiro,

the change looks good.

We ran all our tests of jdk11u with the change, they are quite
comprehensive.
This greatly reduces the chance of hidden error like spilling of vector
registers
etc.

Best regards,
  Goetz.
