HotSpot Changes in 7u

[Alejandro E Murillo]

The hotspot in 7u (or 7u12) is hs24.
Since these changes are already in a jdk8 repo, if they apply cleanly to 
hs24 (exported patch from hs25 applies cleanly into hs24)
we just need to push them to hs24 via jprt. If they don't apply cleanly, 
then a request for review should be sent
to hotspot-dev at openjdk.java.net  for backporting to hs24 and once 
approved they can be pushed to hs24 via jprt.

Do not push them directly to 7u/7u/hotspot as they need to go through
pre-integration testing before they make it to the 7u master.

They will eventually be integrated into the 7u/7u/hotspot master as part 
of a hs24 bulk
integration; We do a pre-integration testing of hs24 snapshots before 
pushing them
to the 7u master (and request the proper approval before pushing to the 
master)

We require using jprt to make sure the changes won't break the builds 
and pass a
minimal baseline of tests.

Please work with whoever delivered these changes into hs25 to get them 
into hs24,
or if they are too busy right now let me know and I can work with you to 
get them in


Thanks
Alejandro
