Thanks for working on this. Yes I can review and sponsor this change.

Sorry I got a bit distracted. I started looking at the test here, and this lead me to inquire about what other tests we have for `IdentityHashMap`, and the answer is: not enough. See [JDK-8285295](https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8285295). (But that should be handled separately.)
