Thank you so much for the review.

Should I consider patches 2, 3, and 4/4 [0, 1, 2] reviewed too? (since they are
part of the CRC32 patchset)

I intend to push 1, 2, 3, and 4 at the same time to jdk8u, but there is no
harm too if they are not applied at once, it won't break the CRC32 or the JVM.

I know that patchset is not small, so I really appreciate your time reviewing
the patches. Thank you.

Best regards,
Gustavo
