RFR: 8159063: aarch64: optimise unaligned array copy long

[Vladimir Kozlov]

Mark R. sent mail about approval process:

http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jdk9-dev/2016-June/004443.html

"  - If you own a JEP or a small enhancement that is not yet complete then
     you can request an FC extension as follows: Update the JBS issue to
     add a comment whose first line is "FC Extension Request".  In that
     comment describe the remaining work to be done, the risk level, a
     brief justification, and your best estimate of the date by which the
     feature will be complete.  Add the label "jdk9-fc-request" to the
     issue.
"

If you have reviewed changes add link to the RFE.

Regards,
Vladimir
