I don't think there's actually a need to do a rollback here, assuming
that the fix for 6590857 is correct and you want to keep it.

You can instead specially clone the awt/jdk repository from the previous
changeset, i.e.,

    $ cd $FOREST
    $ rm -rf jdk
    $ hg clone -r 73f0e751b669 http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/awt/jdk

and you should be all set.
