Regular sync-ups from the upstream?

[Mike Duigou]

I plan to sync lambda with JDK8 mainline Wednesday following the next lambda promotion. I can also try do a sync with JSR 166 though am a bit nervous about potentially destabilizing patches in hotspot. Would you happen to have a changeset? It would save time.

We are very much trying to reduce the scope and number of differences between JDK8 mainline and the lambda repo at this point. If there was a way to get the changes in to JDK mainline quicker then I would prefer to use that route. Regardless, I am still willing to do this sync.
