RFR (S) 8175813: PPC64: "mbind: Invalid argument" when -XX:+UseNUMA is used

[David Holmes]

Hi Gustavo,

If this is a request for review because the backport didn't apply 
cleanly then it should be reviewed on the hotspot mailing lists. A link 
to that review thread should be included in the RFA.

If this is intended to be a request for approval then it is in the wrong 
format.

Thanks,
David
