I've integrated it, although it was far from clean due to some changes in VMStructs, and also moving OrderAccess::release_store to Atomic::release_store.

The patch renamed static_ptr_volatile_field to static_volatile_field to make it more general purpose, but this was inconsistent with the name of volatile_nonstatic_field, so I chose the name volatile_static_field instead. This carried over into some other areas like the names of the GENERATE_VOLATILE_STATIC_VM_STRUCT_ENTRY and CHECK_VOLATILE_STATIC_VM_STRUCT_ENTRY macros.

LGTM.
Thank you for heading up for this issue!
