JDK-8132229 : Unsafe.setRelease/putOrdered* for all types
  • Type: Sub-task

Description
Unsafe.putOrdered* should also be extended for all basic types.
The additional intrinsification of these methods, if required, is handled with JDK-8132332.
Comments
We will create a parallel hierarchy of Unsafe.setRelease methods for now, make VHs to use it. Unsafe.putOrdered should be deprecated as some point, due to a confusing naming.
