[7u12] request for approval for 7104209, 7104577: removal of librmi

[Stuart Marks]

Hi all,

I'm trying to keep the RMI code base in synch between 7u and 8. As part of this 
I'd like to backport the following two changesets from 8 to 7u:

http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=7104209
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/jdk8/jdk/rev/3f391e649ccb

http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=7104577
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/jdk8/jdk/rev/72666cd49ac3

The review thread, including discussion of the problem that led to the followup 
issue, is here:

http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/core-libs-dev/2011-October/007970.html

Patches apply cleanly without modification. Tests pass (er, no new test 
failures introduced). :-(

Thanks,
