The changes in hotspot should be a direct backport of:

https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8014460

Both the linux and bsd parts should be present and it should be 
committed under that original bug id.

The JDK change is the logical equivalent on the JDK side. As you say 
this is not an actual backport because the new build in JDK 8 obviated 
the need for this part of the fix.

As only one review is needed on the JDK side you should now be able to 
request approval (using the approval template) to push the change to 
7u-dev. But again the hotspot part must be complete, and committed using 
the original bug number.

Thanks,
David
