[CCing hotspot list for review]

Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8179887
Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~andrew/openjdk8/8179887/webrev.01/
Review thread: http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/hotspot-dev/2018-April/031746.html

Patch is basically the same as for OpenJDK 11, except we don't have to
revert 8187667, which isn't present in OpenJDK 8.

Thanks,
