When @rkennke did the entry points for Graal ([JDK-8356075](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8356075)), he figured that we do not really need them. The slow-path is only called rarely (whenever the local SATB buffer is full), and getting the current Thread* in the runtime would not be the expensive part.
