A large part of this PR was to lessen the burden of reviewing JDK-8320448 changes.  Am I hearing you say that this approach is not desired?  The other PR is a big review and I was hoping to piecemeal some non-core algorithm changes in to make the review easier.

It is, of course, trivial to revert the change to arrays_equals.  Please let me know your final decision.  Thanks.
