Okay.  I'm wondering how extensive these tests should be.  I guess I
should do something a bit more extensive than simple smoke tests.

Okay.

One thing I should mention.  Since we merged JDK 8 and 9 late last
year we have been seeing an assertion failure:

#  Internal Error (/local/aarch64/jdk9/hotspot/src/share/vm/opto/ifg.cpp:693), pid=3309, tid=4395009634816
#  assert(int_pressure.current_pressure() == count_int_pressure(liveout)) failed: the int pressure is incorrect

We're still trying to track this down.  We have identified the
changeset which triggers it, but we don't know exactly where the bug
is.  Being unable to replay the compilation makes this especially
difficult.
