I am waiting when SPARC AES backport is propagated into jdk8u-dev before 
the merge and push all recent ppc changes:

8033117: PPC64: Adapt to 8002074: Support for AES on SPARC
8035392: cppInterpreter: fix message of NPE

8035394: PPC64: Make usage of intrinsic dsqrt depend on processor 
recognition.

Next fixes depend on other changes which are not in 8u20 yet:

8034797: AIX: Fix os::naked_short_sleep() in os_aix.cpp after 8028280
8035423: AIX: Fix os::get_default_process_handle() in os_aix.cpp after 
8031968

Do we need to backport next changes?:

8033154: PPC64: Fix AIX build after integration into jdk9/dev

Did I missed anything?

Thanks,
Vladimir

The 8u20 port is still in progress, as it needs a little more testing and a quick review by our security teams.  I estimate that we'll need another two weeks before we can integrate into the 8u20 repo.  Still plenty of time before the feature complete deadline.
