Based on a private discussion with Igor: ILW=���UseLoopCounter unnoticeably disables UseOnStackReplacement;-UseLoopCounter & UseOnStackReplacement;none=>MMH=P3

ILW=assert,no impact on product binaries;UseLoopCounter || !UseOnStackReplacement;none=LMH=>P5

ILW= assert(UseLoopCounter || !UseOnStackReplacement) when using -XX:-UseLoopCounter, every time in this flag combo, none=LHH=P4
