Request for guidance on fixing JDK-8075571: Support tier1 and tier2 make targets

[joe darcy]

PS It is a bit lame, but if new new definitions are put into the 
jdk/test/TEST.groups file

diff -r df4d75f58f15 test/TEST.groups

  # Other test definitions; generally smaller granularity than tiers

then

     make test  TEST="jdk_tier1"

does what is wanted, at least for the jdk repo.

I don't know if invoking test targets is supported for repos other than jdk.

Thanks,
