Oh, the last time we had this discussion I thought you were pretty
much the sole copyright holder.

In that case, I'll confirm each patch as I intend to push it.  I think
doko is still without an SCA, not such with xranby.
I'd like to get them in the forest in 7 so I don't have to keep doing
zero and shark builds just to check for patch conflicts.  Either way,
I have to merge the changes in 6 across, and doing it in the forest
seems easier than on a patch-by-patch basis.

Same as aph outlined.  Having the commits in the IcedTea forest would
mean that you could roll the patches/webrev from the changeset(s)
there, and we can do 'raw' OpenJDK builds of Zero/Shark.  HotSpot in
the IcedTea forest will be the same as HotSpot in the master jdk7 tree
as soon as I bump to b57.

Of course, if you want to go straight for 6, you need to apply the
patches against the 6 forest instead, but that's probably not possible
until the version of HotSpot in 6 is updated.
