I don't think it's worth spending effort splitting up these changes, at 
least not a fine grain split as this is just moving code around. 
Periodically there are cross-cutting changes, the warnings clean-up was 
the last big one I think, and often the effort to split them up is more 
than the original refactoring work. The only thing that might make sense 
here is a core/client split only because there are separate team forests 
and it reduces the potential for merge errors.

Fredrik - have you thought about your route to master? Are you thinking 
jdk8/tl or jdk8/awt or the easy-pass-skip-testing lane that is jdk8/build.
