RFR: JDK-8046901 - Check jdk/src/solaris/native/sun/nio for Parfait flagged uninitialized memory

[Roger Riggs]

Hi,

Looks fine to me also.
Unfortunately, marking false positives in the tool creates a required 
synchronization between
the tool configuration and the JDK, if that gets lost or out of sync the 
warnings might re-appear.
In theory, it might be possible to inform the tool of what happens to 
the output arguments
on a successful call.  But would require specific information about 
every library call.
