This one is a bit weird and I need more time to dig deep into that.

Also SPECjbb2015 is tested and the result seems to have no regression found under RVC - the result on Unleashed remains a `max-jOPs` level of score 370 with minor fluctuations.

What about codesize improvement of the C2 JIT code? BTW: You need to rebase the patch on the latest repo.
