Yes.  I'm putting myself in the hands of Vladimir here, but I'm pretty
sure we need jcheck.

I know that our existing revision history is not jcheck-compliant, so
it wouldn't be acceptable, but I am prepared to lose the history
because I'll be submitting clean webrevs.  The aarch64-project tree
will always be there for the archaeologists.

I can't even remember if I am a JDK9 author, but at least me and
Andrew Dinn.  Edward Nevill is a major AArch64 contributor, but I
don't think he is a JDK9 author.

Thanks,
Andrew.
