The list of jdk8u reviewers is at
http://openjdk.java.net/census#jdk8u.  You'll want someone who is on
the HotSpot team.

I have mixed feelings about this patch.  It seems too specific to me:
if you had something that would work with any integer type it would be
more useful, I feel.  And - generally speaking - the rule is that
patches go into JDK 9 first, but JDK 9 is closed for enhancements.

So, I'm sorry for the bad news.  Your patch looks interesting and
useful but I do not know how to get it committed.

Andrew.
