HotSpot 17 merge

[Andrew John Hughes]

The webrev is here:

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~andrew/jdk6-hs17-merge/

I'd also like to revert:

6909480: Disable Escape Analysis in jdk 6u18
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/hsx/hsx16/master/rev/4ebd3f8407eb

which isn't present in hs17 (and so remains a difference between jdk6
and hs17) as, unlike jdk6's version, hs17 is based on the main HotSpot
tree rather than the hs16 master.  I didn't include this in the merge
because it's clearer what's going on if it appears as a separate
change.

This is to the final tag, hs14-b13.  There is a change after this
which I've queried on the HotSpot list:
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/hotspot-dev/2010-May/002983.html

Note that the merge includes the copyright changes and the resulting
annoying conflicts that caused... :-(
