5 - Global stubs: Change calling convention (no longer write to callee stack as this makes stepping through the instructions for saving the parameters to global stubs impossible in the inspector)

6 - Reference maps: Corrently implement TargetMethod.prepareReferenceMap for C1XTargetMethod (checking for the need to stack walk a possible callee saved target method) and call it from Maxine

7 - Disassembler: The Maxine disassembler still does not correctly display every machine code instruction issued by C1X

8 - MaxRiRuntime and C1XTargetMethod have fixed dependencies on the X86 parts (instruction decoding, registers, calling convention), should be factored out

12 - Make sure that LIROperand objects are not shared among LIR instructions and can therefore be directly modified by the LinearScan register allocator (no more need for the lazy creation of LIRAddress objects in the LIRInstruction class)

15 - Store mapping between machine code location and bytecode index in the target method (remove arguments from global stub calls), this decreases the number of necessary parameters especially for resolution instructions.
