Looks good to me!

I would set a default false value for the "is_value_type" argument of get_unloaded_klass() so you
don't have to explicitly pass "false" at all these places.

I think we can just go with Action_make_not_entrant for now. It will invalidate the code and
recompile if the method is still hot. Long term, we need a better solution anyway (probably a
runtime call) because C1 code is likely to see unloaded classes and frequent deopts are just too
expensive. Also, most likely array covariance will come back and we then need a way to handle the
Object array access case (flattened value type arrays may "hide" as Object arrays).

Best regards,
