Indeed there was a very long and convoluted review for the full patch
and backport process -- this relates to the problems created when the
latest CPU failed to incorporate all the necessary changes to make the
final jdk9 function correctly.

The review of this present patch starts here

and was oked by Coleen here

We (Red Hat) have applied this patch to our internal shenandoah and
aarch64 jdk8 trees (downstream from jdk8u). It has also been applied ot
jdk10 and the jdk/jdk and jdk/hs trees. the paper trails for those
latter updates is available if you want but is not really releevant.
