The code was left in HotSpot assuming it will help in a future. But during work on Leyden we decided to not use it. In Leyden cached compiled code will be restored in CodeCache as normal nmethods: no need to change VM's runtime and GC code to process them.

I filed RFEs:
[JDK-8329628](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8329628): Additional changes after JDK-8329332
[JDK-8329629](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8329629): GC interfaces should work directly against nmethod instead of CodeBlob
