      It is a time to implement nmethod entry barriers for ARM32. It have already been implemented in other ports. This becomes inevitable with the landing of Loom and JDK-8290025 "Remove the Sweeper" which require nmethod entry barriers.

      Nmethod entry barriers are needed for G1 concurrent marking to keep alive weak nmethod oop constants (see linked JDK-8288970). So it is a defect if they are missing.
