No because jdk.* are JDK-specific and should never be required by 
standard modules.

It exports an API and therefore will be treated as a root module, so no 
-addmods. If you develop your own module that uses sun.misc.Unsafe then 
it will of course need to declare its dependency on jdk.unsupported.
