@swesonga Hey, just a heads up. It is about that time again where we are looking to put together a PR for the JEP to go into mainline.

Since we do not support Windows/AArch64 (e.g. we can not test it), we can not be in charge of a PR that brings this port over to mainline. So, I think it's up to you or another maintainer of Windows/AArch64.

I suggest taking the following two commits:
1. https://github.com/openjdk/panama-foreign/commit/d379ca1ca32926591fbf8a4afdae1a4a52b3cb63
2. https://github.com/openjdk/panama-foreign/commit/08225e4f5e00837e974098a933f27267f3c0dbc5

And making a PR against openjdk/jdk out of those (since those three are all related to this port). I can approve it again there, since I've already reviewed the changes before.
