This looks like a custom test group, are you saying Oracle runs it in CI testing? I would have expected the regular tiered testing captured all the tests, Loom included. 

Either way, as I said in the PR description, it would be useful for development/porting work to have a test group that captures Loom tests, pretty much like other component test groups we have. Maybe it would not be called "tier1_loom", though, but just "hotspot_loom" and "jdk_loom"?
