I only took a look at these files from the full webrev. These are the
files touch in the two incremental webrevs:
src/cpu/aarch64/vm/jniFastGetField_aarch64.cpp
No comments.
src/cpu/arm/vm/jniFastGetField_arm.cpp
No comments.
src/cpu/sparc/vm/jniFastGetField_sparc.cpp
No comments.
src/cpu/x86/vm/jniFastGetField_x86_32.cpp
No comments.
src/cpu/x86/vm/jniFastGetField_x86_64.cpp
No comments.
src/cpu/x86/vm/macroAssembler_x86.cpp
I like the new helper!

No comments.

L50 - any reason for the blank line?

Please delete the space before the first '('.
You may want to add a comment between the two halves of
the test for the literal values that you're setting in
the .java file and testing for in the .c file.
In your (Mikael G) original invite:

Does tier2 and/or tier3 cover the tests that failed in Mach5?

Great coverage with the new tests!

Have you heard back from anyone on aarch64? I haven't
seen any e-mail on this OpenJDK thread...
Thumbs up!
