Project proposal: s390x port

[David Edelsohn]

[Sorry if this is a duplicate. An earlier message is awaiting moderation.]

I would like to propose the creation of a new project to port OpenJDK
to IBM z/Architecture (s390x).

The proposal is support for s390x z12 on LinuxONE (Linux on IBM z
Systems).  The support would include the C++ interpreter, the template
interpreter, and the C2 compiler.

I have submitted an enhancement request that has been assigned review
ID JI-9036871.  I am hoping that it will be assigned an official JIRA
issue and allow OpenJDK Bug System access.

Can I please request the support of the Porters Group as the Sponsoring
Group with myself as project lead?

Thanks,
David Edelsohn
