In contrast, the JVMS, though asking for these bits to be set to 0, requires VM to proceed and ignore these bits. javap should emulate the VM behavior and proceed rendering, ignoring these undefined bits.

I have created a CSR for this patch at https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8334406; please review. Also I am not sure about the correct interface kind and scope for this CSR: is "other" and "implementation" correct?
