Absolute index bulk put/get byte operations on ByteBuffer

There has been a long outstanding issue of ByteBuffer not having methods to
get or put a ByteBuffer or byte[] at an absolute index.

https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-5029431

This seriously hampers the usefulness of ByteBuffer in a concurrent
environment due to contention on the position and limit fields. Slicing or
duplicating are not valid options are this are not threadsafe and they
allocate.

Is there any reason why this bug has not been progressed?
