Hi,

This change contains a row of fixes in the ppc and aix coding we collected over the last testing days. Please review this change. http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~goetz/webrevs/8031319-ppcFix/

In more detail:

Stack overflow issue: code branched to zero. Fix: Generate throw_StackOverflowError stub before generating the native entry.

Fix assertion when looking for nmethod in code cache: use unsafe accessor. Also optimize: don't look up the address twice.

Fix compressing klass pointers.

Implement some missing stuff in the aix os branch.

Thanks and best regards, Goetz.
