[8u-dev] Request for approval to backport: 8139258: PPC64LE: argument passing problem when passing 15 floats in native call

[Seán Coffey]

Hey Goetz,

I wouldn't single out a PPC fix for no testcase just because it's not an 
Oracle JDK platform. PPC tests could be added to OpenJDK forest via the 
@requires jtreg tag if necessary.

In any case, I see you've marked this with noreg-external which should 
be fine. noreg-other would also have been ok to use I guess.

Regards,
Sean.
