Ok, first you need to get a copy of the jdk7/hotspot-comp repo:

  hg clone http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/hotspot-comp/
  cd hotspot-comp
  sh get_source.sh

Then you need to apply your patch to it:

  patch -p2 < /path/to/icedtea6/patches/shark-llvm-2.9.patch

Then you need to make the webrev:

  ksh make/scripts/webrev.ksh -fN

That will create a directory called "webrev" and a file called
"webrev.zip" (which is just the directory zipped up).  You need
to put that directory on a website somewhere.  Do you have a
website you can use?

Once you've done that, subscribe to hotspot-compiler-dev:

  http://mail.openjdk.java.net/mailman/listinfo/hotspot-compiler-dev

and post a message something like this one:

  http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/hotspot-compiler-dev/2011-March/004957.html

Hopefully someone there will pick it up :)
  
Cheers,
Gary
