[7u4] Request for approval for CR 7145925: Removing remote access to diagnostic commands in the HotSpotDiagnosticMBean

[Staffan Larsen]

It's being removed because of an outage in the design. We are note sure that ManagementPermission("control") is the appropriate permission for running diagnostic commands over JMX. Due to time pressure to deliver 7u4, we didn't have time to redesign this. The plan is to revisit the design, and put this functionality back at a later stage. 

Thanks,
/Staffan
