JDK-8320421 - [IR Framework] Umbrella: Add more VM flags to the whitelist
Description
For debugging purposes and also for specific test groups (e.g. vector tests run in CI with UseAVX etc.), executing IR verification with non-whitelisted flags would be useful. Currently, that does not work:

IR verification disabled either due to no @IR annotations, through explicitly setting -DVerify=false, due to not running a debug build, using a non-whitelisted JTreg VM or Javaopts flag like -Xint, or running the test VM with other VM flags added by user code that make the IR verification impossible (e.g. -XX:-UseCompile, -XX:TieredStopAtLevel=[1,2,3], etc.).

Above message also contains a typo: "UseCompile" -> "UseCompiler".
Comments
Allow modification of whitelist via command line . Expectation again is this can be completed in ~ 1 week of timeframe

For example, a -DAddToWhiteList option could be added where -DAddToWhiteList="" would match all flags.
