Flat Array null check issue - Re: RFR(L) Valhalla support for AArch64 v.05

[Dmitry Samersoff]

Hi Roland,

Alias tends to strip attachments, so sending it directly.

I checked x86 code. On x86 we don't mask loaded class in x86_64.ad file,
on AArch64 I do it right in aarch64.ad

I can follow x86 convention but it means that we need carefully insert
masking to all place where it necessary.

Should we consider to put masking inside LoadNKlass and LoadKlass
and use LoadN/LoadP when we need unmasked value?

Thank you,
-Dmitry
