It looks way too complicated on StubGenerator side. You could just represent 
the offset as constant displacement: 

lea(rbase, ExternalAddress(StubRoutines::x86::vector_byte_shift_gfni_matrix());

const int mats_per_kind = 32;
Address matrix(rbase, rtmp, Address::times_8, kind * mats_per_kind * 
BytesPerLong);
