Backports to jdk11u and jdk17u

[yangfei at iscas.ac.cn]

Hi all,

  Good news is that following three repos have been created by ops and should be ready for use!

    https://github.com/openjdk/riscv-port-jdk17u
    https://github.com/openjdk/riscv-port-jdk11u
    https://github.com/openjdk/riscv-port-jdk8u

  They are seeded with jdk{17, 11, 8}u-dev repos respectively. 
  We should start from riscv-port-jdk17u. And I have created a riscv-port branch in this repo for future 17u backporting work. 
  As mentioned by Lindenmaier Goetz, the initial backport should be restricted to the changes that are definitely needed to get it working. 
  Also, changes to shared code should be kept to a minimum. 
  Please let me know if there are other things missed. 

Thanks,
Fei Yang
