One thing that I'm wondering about is whether BaseExtendedSocketOptions + Support should be collapsed into one abstract class ExtendedSocketOptions (or better name) with 3 instance methods and 2 static methods. It's an internal interface so not a big deal but I think it would be a bit cleaner and allowed the oddly named "Support" to go away.

This works out quite nice.  Webrev updated in-place:

With this refactoring, and the reduced number of types over the various
iterations, I think we can remove the ‘Base' prefix and use the simpler
name sun.net.ext.ExtendedSocketOptions ( conflict with
jdk.net.ExtendedSocketOptions is less of an issue ).
