I have almost completed backporting these changes to icedtea7-forest and
hope to push the commits soon (modulo successful testing). However, I
have a query regarding this commit:

  id 8154 sha1 id: e84a2db0758d
  8076467: AARCH64: assertion fail with -XX:+UseG1GC
  Summary: Don't call encoding unless bool is true.

The patch includes the following hunk

  --- a/src/cpu/aarch64/vm/interp_masm_aarch64.hpp	Fri Apr 24 11:01:37
2015 +0000
  +++ b/src/cpu/aarch64/vm/interp_masm_aarch64.hpp	Tue Apr 14 17:19:08

    protected:
  +  using MacroAssembler::call_VM_leaf_base;
  +
     // Interpreter specific version of call_VM_base
     virtual void call_VM_leaf_base(address entry_point,

Icedtea7 builds quite happily without including this hunk. Am I correct
in believing that it is not needed because it refers to an upstream
change which has not been pulled down into Icedtea7/JDK7?
