[7u12] Request for approval for bulk integration of hs24-b29

[Alejandro E Murillo]

Requesting approval to integrate hs24-b29 into jdk7u12-b10.

A webrev is available at:

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~amurillo/7u12/hs24-b29-jdk7u12-b10.webrev/

Pre-integration testing is in progress; the integration will proceed
only after SQE has analyzed the results and approved.

The fixes in the proposed integration are below.  All have undergone
nightly testing and are already in a jdk8 repository.

8001077: remove ciMethod::will_link
8001341: SIGSEGV in methodOopDesc::fast_exception_handler_bci_for(KlassHandle,int,Thread*)+0x3e9.

8005071: Incremental inlining for JSR 292
8005383: new hotspot build - hs24-b29
8005419: Improve intrinsics code performance on x86 by using AVX2
