VM.isSystemDomain would be fine, except perhaps for the j.u.c classes 
where we'd need to check with Doug (David or Chris might do that). The 
reason is that we try to avoid changes to the j.u.c classes in OpenJDK 
so that it makes it easier to sync up. Also the j.u.c classes are 
released standalone too and this makes it a bit awkward to have a 
dependency on a new method in sun.misc.VM. A package-private class in 
j.u.c might help there.
