Looks good.

In "CDSCompressedKPtrs.java" what exactly happens when we throw 
SkippedException? I assume we have some mechanism now to detect/report 
skipped tests? I like the idea.

Also, there are more than these 5 tests that check for platforms the 
"old way", so there is not going to be a coordinated effort to change 
them to the new way?
