I started to review the patch and was wondering if this could be simplify to something like this?:
https://github.com/stefank/jdk/commit/f38c791793440b899ce6c4c9723470a5d4b18050

I tested this with this small section of temporary static_asserts:
https://github.com/stefank/jdk/commit/30da4d6abeee14e4e4f44034295f1bb0ad2e3016

Unfortunately, that didn't compile and I had make this change to get it to work:
