I concur. As I just wrote in the bug report I don't see how the changes 
can be backported to 8u but the test is somehow invalid for 8u!

Also as a point of order: a RFR and a RFA are distinct and should be 
posted separately: the RFR on hotspot-xxx-dev (as appropriate) and the 
RFA on jdk8u-dev.

Thanks,
David
