Class Data Sharing

[Lindenmaier, Goetz]

Hi, 

In the OpenJDK we have ported the template interpreter.
(ppc-aix-port/jdk7, jdk8u, jdk9).  It's not yet finished on PPC64le, 
Alexander Smundnak is working on it I think.

We (SAP) never experimented with CDS though - everbody is welcome to 
do so!  

Best regards,
  Goetz.

Its because the ppc port uses the c++ Interpreter which doesn't support it.

PS
Volker  (I think) mentioned this and has said they are doing
a Template interpreter but I don't know its current status.
