Some of the test changes have been made when fixing a bug in the JDK7 
source... Oh, I noticed that the test in this area is not sufficient or 
has issues. Some tests have been fixed as part of a general cleanup to 
remove them from the ProblemList. We don't want to backport all the 
implementation source changes, only test changes that improve the 
quality of the tests. So there is no one to one mapping here.

If it is just improvements in the tests themselves then I don't see any 
problem here. We could have one CR that covers backport of regression 
tests from JDK7. Most of the test we have today in the JDK7 networking 
area should not, we hope, have issues that will need fixed in the 
future, only additional tests/functionality added to cover new bug fixes.
