There are 2 issues with generics that causes the current implementation to
generate sub-optimal code.

First, .constrained callvirt on reference types we do an indirect load for no
good reason at all. We should make remove this indirection and remove
MONO_INST_INDIRECT from the var if possible.

Second, we need to intrinsify System.Activator::CreateInstance<!0> as this is
used for creating instances of generic params with the new () constraint.  The
overhead of having this function as is is pretty big, specially for valuetypes
for which the empty ctor is just a bzero.
