Good to know! Here's the webrev for it:
  https://builds.shipilev.net/patch-openjdk-panama-foreign-vector/latest/

It seems that branch is behind default branch, and so it takes in a lot of unrelated fluff? Or maybe
my webrev script is misbehaving.

Ah, that's a wrinkle. Still, not a blocker. First binaries for foreign+vector are coming here:
  https://builds.shipilev.net/openjdk-panama/

That is, first _build failures_ are coming there, because current x86_64 is broken without PCH, see
the other thread with patch. Pretty sure it would fail some other architectures, because not all
arches have LLVM snapshots. I'll deal with that later.
