Oh no, I don't. Pre-integration JPRT runs exposed an opaque dependency
on Integer.sizeTable field from C2 OptimizeStringConcat. I added the
field declaration back:
 http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~shade/8136500/webrev.07/

Cleaning up the compiler code would require much more time, so I would
like to push this JDK part now, and deal with Hotspot compiler later:
  https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8143900

Objections?
