I believe that both currently reside in http://hg.openjdk.java.net/aarch64-port/jdk8u-shenandoah/ (correct me if not), so to me the easiest approach would be to take both from there. I’d move Shenandoah first, since it presumably has hooks in platform dependent code which we’d have to work around if we did the aarch64 port first.

I agree, it would be good to finally see both ports in the main upstream
repository. Shenandoah as well, though that should go to 11 first.

The work should use a staging repository, as with JFR, so as to minimise
disruption to the work on 8u releases.
