RFR: JDK-8012212 - link against kstat on solaris x86

[Vladimir Kozlov]

Nils,

Do you have future work in plan for this? You should do this change only 
when you add a code to really use data from kstat on x86.
Currently kstat is only used on SPARC to get CPU information (since it 
doesn't have cpuid instruction). No kstat counters are read in VM.

Thanks,
Vladimir
