Thanks, I see.
As the version 3.6 will introduce some performance regression compared to non-intrinsic version, so to bring the fix into jdk, we need either do a manual change (like https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/18605/commits/cd70f5a970514938d05f7a2426b15f78245236d3), or wait the next version after 3.6 (which should include changes in https://github.com/shibatch/sleef/pull/537), I think we prefer the latter (i.e. depends on next version after 3.6)
That means https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/18605 (JDK-8312425) requires sleef version next to 3.6 (could be 3.6.1 or 3.7).

I'm OK to push this pr first, if it's also convenient for you, as we will need to push the change between 3.6.1/3.7 and 3.6 again when 3.6.1/3.7 is released.
