That is fine with me.
Just to clarify: Will you include the other test Lutz has modified
(test/compiler/intrinsics/zip/TestCRC32.java) into your JDK 10
changeset? I can live with both options (i.e., (1) both tests pushed
into JDK 9 with 8178720 and (2) *CRC32C -> JDK 9, CRC32 -> JDK 10).

Thank you.

Yes, I can. Just let me know which option from above you prefer.
For the record: I'll add Lutz as a contributor when pushing the tests
(if that's fine with you, Lutz).
Best regards,
Zoltan
