This feels like something not really related to this removal? No sense to split it out?

Mostly cosmetics:

*) Comment indents:

 486   fields[TypeFunc::Parms+0] = value_type; // original field value
 487   fields[TypeFunc::Parms+1] = TypeRawPtr::BOTTOM;   // original load address

*) This needs a comment, something like "uncommon traps do not need barriers, values would be
handled during deopt" or some such.

2932         if (n->as_CallStaticJava()->uncommon_trap_request() != 0) {
2933           break;
2934         }
