-Xbootclasspath/p: is expected to work in JVM legacy mode as it is.  In 
JVM legacy mode, the launcher sets -Xbootclasspath/p:<list of all 
modules> and passes it to the VM.  I set _JAVA_LAUNCHER_DEBUG 
environment variable and confirms that the user-specified 
-Xbootclasspath/p: and the -Xbootclasspath/p: computed by the launcher 
are passed to the JVM.

The VM should be able to take one or more -Xbootclasspath/p options.  
I'll need to investigate further.
