> In some benchmarks we hit an endless deopt/recompilation cycle because of this bailout in C2 when we compile a method with an unloaded return type:

> It's a regression / limitation from [JDK-8301007](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8301007) that I had planned to fix later with [JDK-8284443](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8284443) because I thought it wouldn't have an impact on performance. Turns out it does, so I'll fix it with this issue similar to what we do in `PhaseMacroExpand::expand_mh_intrinsic_return`.
> 
> For testing, I added a new `PreloadClasses` debug flag that's enabled by default. Disabling it will disable preloading of all classes from the LoadableDescriptors attributes. Running testing with this caught some more issues that I fixed in this PR as well. I'll add it to our (internal) stress testing job separately.
> 
> I also fixed some inconsistency in the preload logging and adjusted the corresponding tests.

> Thanks,
> Tobias
