All that's left is native code for libosx, a library relied on by com.apple.eio.FileManager in the java.desktop module. By moving libosx over to java.desktop, we are able to do away with the jdk.deploy.osx module altogether.

It’s good to see jdk.deploy.osx finally going away. The patch looks fine.
common/bin/unshuffle_list.txt should be adjusted as well (while this file looks like not being kept up-to-date though)
No need to submit a new webrev.
