I haven't looked at the patch yet (might be a few days) but the system 
property to override the default provider shouldn't be impacted. It's 
really only 
sun.nio.ch.{DefaultSelectorProvider,DefaultAsynchronousChannelProvider} 
and sun.nio.fs.DefaultFileSystemProvider that need to be touched. This 
is why get used if the default provider isn't specified via a system 
property (or the other specified lookup mechanism). A simply rename or 
sed replacement in the build should do it.
