I've read through the latest webrev, overall very good work.

I had to read splitTreeBin a few times to convince myself as to how the 
keys re-hash. I wonder if would be helpful to beef up the comment on 
this method. It's good to see a test that specifically targets this.

Otherwise I didn't see anything obviously wrong. Minor alignment issue 
with the comments on Holder.

Assuming Doug and Mike are okay with this then I suggest we try to get 
it into jdk8/tl soon so that it has a few days bake time before Lana 
grabs the changes from jdk8/tl for b94. I think Mike is going to sponsor 
this.
