Thank you for this work, it'd be great to have more robust value class support! 
I've left some comments from the perspective of a VM developer. I can't comment 
on how appropriate these changes are for the vmTestbase codebase, but the 
changes seem reasonable to me.

Do we have the resources to run these boxed arrays when not in preview mode? If 
not, we might want to `@require java.enablePreview` and `@require 
!java.enablePreview`.

I think there are some more robust ways to check for preview.
* The best way is probably `jdk.internal.misc.PreviewFeatures.isEnabled` which 
checks if the current VM is preview-enabled. Needs `@modules 
java.base/jdk.internal.misc`. 
* Alternatively, if the above is not possible, 
`jdk.test.lib.Utils.getTestJavaOpts` which you can check in a Stream for 
`--enable-preview`. This consolidates all of the `test.vm.opts` and 
`test.java.opts` for you.

This comment applies to all `getXXXArrayElementSize` methods. The element size 
depends on many things, such as the properties of the array (controls 
flattening decisions and/or layout) and the VM (flattening can be disabled). 

For JEP 401, we only consider the nullable atomic layout. Even for this simple 
case, we should, in my opinion, do the following:
- Check if flattening is enabled. For this, we can use the `WhiteBox` API to 
get the VM flag values. Some relevant flags may be: `UseArrayFlattening`, 
`UseFieldFlattening`, `UseNullableValueFlattening`, `UseAtomicValueFlattening`. 
- File an RFE to track hardcoding the size, such that we can change it once 
there are more layouts available.

A more robust solution would be to use 
`test/hotspot/jtreg/runtime/valhalla/inlinetypes/field_layout/FieldLayoutAnalyzer.java`
 in order to get more comprehensive layout information.

In which scenarios do you anticipate to get a negative `length`?

This else case wasn't here before right? I'm not sure I follow why we need an 
empty array.

Sanity question: do we also need to consider `h_IntegerObjArr`?
