Comments
EVALUATION MachNode::get_base_and_disp() does not process correctly an addressing with a narrow oop LoadConN node (is_Con() == true). As result the adr_type() for such addresses is "BotPTR* + bot" which aliases with all stores. The mach node loadNKlass has wrong bottom_type() since its base class is not MachTypeNode (as for loadKlass) because we missed it in InstructForm::captures_bottom_type). DecodeN::value() and EncodeN::value() always return the type with which a node was created when it should return the type based on the type of the current input node (which could be different from an original input node).

SUGGESTED FIX Added the debug field _mem_node to Matcher class and set it to a memory node which is consumed by a mach node. Use it to verify the adr_type of the mach node which should not change. This check found the listed type problems. Put opaque nodes on the macro nodes list to remove them during macro expansion phase and to execute igvn transformations on users.
