8177530: Module system implementation refresh (4/2017)

[Lois Foltan]

Hi Alan,

Hotspot changes look good.  One minor comment, can you move the 
definition of java/lang/Module at line #93 in 
hotspot/src/share/vm/classfile/vmSymbols.hpp up to a new line after #58 
which is java/lang/Package?  I wouldn't need to see another webrev for this.

Thank you,
Lois
