I think you are looking for JEP 260 [1]. The critical internal APIs 
where it lists the "critical internal APIs" that are not encapsulated in 
JDK 9. If you are using the Jigsaw EA builds then look at `java 
--list-modules jdk.unsupported` where you'll see that sun.misc (and 
sun.reflect) are both exported and open.
