JDK 8 code review request for 6838776 Defer initialization of static fields in java.math.BigInteger

[Sebastian Sickelmann]

Looks good to me.
Nice pattern to use static initialization on first usage of UnsafeHolder 
instead of using lazy initialization code with double-check-ideom for 
synchronizing in the two accessing methods. It should works for all vm i 
have workes with (sun/oracle,ibm) , but is it garanted by vm spec that 
it is not initialized while initializing Big{Integer,Decimal}?
