Ugh. I don't think JFR APIs are available in OpenJDK, but recent Oracle
JDK build should be able to build JMH just fine. Let me figure this out.

Yes, it is totally possible to benchmark any OpenJDK-derived JDK with
JMH (in fact, we do *a lot* of benchmarking for JDK 8 with JMH).

The issue you are facing is purely the build issue, and will not affect
runtime (unless, of course, you will enable JFR profiler with "-prof
jfr"). Hence, at the moment you can build the JMH with Oracle-provided
public builds, while I figure out how to handle this properly on the
build side.
