These tests are for JVMCI functionality related to implementing finalizers properly. As David states [here](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8305063?focusedCommentId=14570181&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-14570181), these tests should only be changed when finalization itself is removed.
