Code review request: JDK-8000692,Remove old KERNEL code

[Karen Kinnear]

Zhengyu,

Thank you for doing this. Looks good.

Can you also please remove from vmSymbols - sun/jkernel/Download/Manager and getBootClassPathEntryForClass?
And assembler_x86.hpp - perhaps modify the comment from "KERNEL" to MINIMAL VM"

SystemDictionary.cpp:
initialize_wk_klass
 - your changes there look good to me, with Opt_Kernel completely gone

thanks,
Karen
