Minor things:

*) src/share/native/sun/awt/image/jpeg/jdhuff.c
    src/share/native/sun/awt/image/jpeg/jdinput.c
    src/share/native/sun/awt/image/jpeg/jdmarker.c
    src/share/native/sun/awt/image/jpeg/jpeglib.h

  ...seem weirdly empty. They are intended to be that way, right?

*) In src/share/classes/java/io/ObjectInputStream.java, blocks like these:

  ...look way too optimistic to me. If that's a real OOME, then allocations in this block would 
highly likely to fail themselves. If that's a fake OOMEs, then they are thrown where?

I assume it is a fake OOME: I see the changeset (8249927: Specify limits of 
jdk.serialProxyInterfaceLimit), which seems to imply this. But, there is no 
"jdk.serialProxyInterfaceLimit" in sight in the patch or in existing source.

Yes, but the nits above need to be worked out, I think.
