This required significant changes, especially in C2 where we need to emit shift/mask operations for packing/unpacking field values to/from the scalar representation. C2 did not like loading a long value and suddenly assuming that a part of this long is now an oop, and we also need to be careful that this conversion does not float below a safepoint because then the GC would not know about the oop.

This was challenging due to G1 late barrier expansion that expects that there is a 1-1 relation between stores and pre-/post-barriers but now we might require two barriers for an atomic store to a flat field with two 32-bit compressed oops. The current implementation is rather hacky and should be re-visited later.
