Just a quick ack. This one will take a significant time to study and 
review. My initial reaction is that that this native method needs to be 
completely replaced so that all the work is done in the Java code, not 
in native code.

While in the area, I should mention that we want to replace this 
Selector implementation (the Windows Selector implementation is only 
implementation that wasn't replaced in JDK 11). The new implementation 
is currently blocked due to a Windows bug. We have escalated the bug to 
Microsoft so we have to wait to see where that goes.
