Encryption fix in HotSpot

An AES-GCM encryption problem, causing a glacially slow startup, had been 
recently fixed in Java 13.
https://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk/jdk/rev/f35a8aaabcb9

The fix has also been backported to Java 12 and Oracle Java 11.
https://bugs.java.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=JDK-8201633

Can it also be backported to OpenJDK Java 11? This is a very significant 
performance problem, that needs to be fixed in order for AES-GCM (one of 
the main encryption modes today) to be really workable in Java 11.
