Yes, since it is arrch64 only changes, just push the fix into jdk10:

http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk/jdk10/

As I understand 2018 CPU, 9.0.4 release was last one from Oracle:

http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jdk-updates-dev/2017-November/000024.html

http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jdk-updates-dev/2018-January/000031.html

Rob, can Andrew push this fix (only aarch64 Hotspot changes) into jdk9u 
forest?:

http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk-updates/jdk9u/hotspot

Otherwise I can only suggest to talk to AdoptOpenJDK to respin aarch64 
build.

Vladimir
