[8u] Request for enhancement backport approval for 8144019

[Rob McKenna]

As I understand it the "webrev" here does not constitute the fix as it
will be pushed to 8.

Please publish the actual webrev as it applies to 8 and follow the
enhancement request approval template at:

http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk8u/enhancement-template.html

Given that this change actually does affect shared code we will need a
particular focus on the 2nd bullet point in that template.

To be explicit: this change is not approved for 8u-dev yet.
