I added noreg-trival to the bug report, and also jdk8u-fix-request per
http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk-updates/approval.html
The wiki also says that jdk8u-fix-yes must be added before the patch can be pushed. Is that still true, and if not, what needs to happen before a push?
Thanks,
Paul

This one looks pretty much like a straight backport of 8145788 from JDK 9.
Approved for jdk8u-dev. A suitable noreg- label [1] should be added to
the bug report.
regards,
Sean.
