After private discussion with Paul, here's an update:

Renamed CallSite$Context to MethodHandleNatives$Context.
Best regards,

I am not an export in the HS area but the code mostly made sense to
me. I also like Peter's suggestion of Context implementing Runnable.
I agree. Integrated.
Some minor comments.
CallSite.java:
145 private final long dependencies = 0; // Used by JVM to
store JVM_nmethodBucket*
It's a little odd to see this field be final, but i think i
understand the motivation as it's essentially acting as a memory
address pointing to the head of the nbucket list, so in Java code
you don't want to assign it to anything other than 0.
Yes, my motivation was to forbid reads & writes of the field from
Java code. I was experimenting with injecting the field by VM, but
it's less attractive.
I was wondering if that were possible.
Is VM access, via java_lang_invoke_CallSite_Context, affected by
treating final fields as really final in the j.l.i package?
No, field modifiers aren't respected. oopDesc::*_field_[get|put] does
a raw read/write using field offset.
Ok.
Paul.
