JVM interface header src location?

[Andrew Leonard]

Hi, with the new repo consolidation in JDK10+ the JVM interface headers 
(jvm.h and jvm_md.h) have moved from under 
jdk/src/java.base/share|<OS>/native/include/ to 
    src/hotspot/share/include/jvm.h
    src/hotspot/os/windows/include/jvm_md.h
    src/hotspot/os/posix/include/jvm_md.h
This implies these are "hotspot" headers, when they are actually generic 
JVM interface definitions. So for example if previously a 3rd party JVM 
implementor (eg.Eclipse OpenJ9) who does not clone the hotspot repo, and 
now does not clone the hotspot "folder", will now fail to find these 
generic headers...

Wouldn't it be better for these headers to be under some generic "jvm" or 
"base" include folder?

Thanks
Andrew
