Epsilon + Graal

Hi,
I am tinkering with Epsilon support for Graal (targeting AOT binaries with no GC). This patch
applies to jdk/jdk:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~shade/epsilon/graal-support.patch
...and passes this test suite:
$ CONF=linux-x86_64-server-fastdebug make images run-test TEST=compiler/aot
TEST_VM_OPTS="-XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions -XX:+UseEpsilonGC"
...and does this:
$ build/linux-x86_64-server-release/images/jdk/bin/jaotc -J-XX:+UseEpsilonGC --info HelloWorld.class
--output hello-epsilon.so
$ build/linux-x86_64-server-release/images/jdk/bin/java -XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions
-XX:+UseEpsilonGC -Xlog:gc -XX:+UseAOT -XX:AOTLibrary=./hello-epsilon.so HelloWorld

I am confused what to do next. Some process questions:
a) Where do I propose the patch? As GitHub PR to oracle/graal, is that right?
b) The change requires adjustments in JVMCI, how is that handled? I assume JVMCI and Graal changes
are done independently? In that case, there is a bit of circularity here: I cannot put JVMCI change
in without breaking runs with Epsilon for a while, and cannot put Epsilon changes in before JVMCI is
updated?
c) Pretty sure current patch fails some write barrier verification, because verification assumes
either G1 or CardTable-based BarrierSet. Do we expect to clean up verification before the Epsilon
patch, or can it be done within the patch?
d) How do we run Graal tests (especially given the need for JVMCI adjustments)? Are they run
automatically on PR proposal?
