Research direction

Start with the benchmark source in performance/src/benchmarks/micro/runtime/Interop/StructureToPtr.cs and compare the baseline commit c66d7e17e3fd31c15dd0fa6fffb2d0224b63ad63 with 7ffec088158c895276b85cf176e37904f7d53a56. Run the Interop.StructureToPtr benchmark using the provided ARM64 Mono AOT LLVM reproduction steps. Done means the reported MarshalPtrToStructure regression is explained and the benchmark no longer shows the regression.
