It *is* AArch64-specific in the sense that it's a bug which has only
ever been seen on AArch64.  I did think for some time about making it
#ifdef AARCH64, but if it affects any non-AArch64 target it will only
fix a bug.  Given that this bug has never been observed on any
non-AArch64 target, I'm not going to report it against jdk8.
