Description
In order to implement concurrent class unloading, a mechanism will be required to arm nmethods in a safepoint such that the first entry into an nmethod after the pause triggers a barrier before continuing.

The barrier will be used for:
  * Patching immediate oops, and keeping phantomly reachable oops alive through the nmethod entry
  * Cleaning IC caches that are potentially stale after class unloading
  * Detecting entries through stale IC caches during unloading
