merging BSDPort into jdk mainline

[roger hoover]

As the first of many steps to integrate the Mac OS X Port into mainline jdk8, we need to merge the BSDPort code (on which the Mac OS X Port is based) into the jdk8 mainline.   I've started this discussion as it pertains to HotSpot on the hotspot-dev mailing list:

Please use the hotspot-dev list and the mentioned wiki page for discussion of merging BSDPort hotspot to mainline jdk.  Thanks.
