Code change looks good.

There are a couple of places where we check whether or not a Klass is a 
ClassLoader, something like:
if (klass->is_subclass_of(SystemDictionary::ClassLoader_klass()))

These places could now be changed to 
klass->oop_is_ClassLoader(), saving a possibly expensive subtype check.

Should we file an RFE to change these or do you want to change them straight 
away?
