It's been several years but I'm sure that the original plan was to 
remove the support in jdk8. This may have been translated into jdk9 for 
hotspot because of HotSpot Express. Karen might remember. In any case, 
once we remove the usages of JVM_ functions from the library code then 
+UseVMInterruptibleIO will not be effective so it probably doesn't 
matter if the code is removed from hotspot then or some time later.
