Mostly ok, but for:

changeset:   10742:c935e0b6b4b2
user:        shade
date:        Thu Oct 25 20:38:21 2018 +0200
summary:     [backport] Cherry-pick JDK-8212673, fix for Node::eqv_uncast

This doesn't seem to have been requested for OpenJDK 11 upstream, never mind 8u.
Why is it being backported only to shenandoah?

Thanks,
