[8u] RFR for backport of JDK-8188868: PPC64: Support AES intrinsics on Big Endian

[Doerr, Martin]

Hi Ogata,

you need to backport JDK-8185975 before you can use +8 instead of -8.
Please don't forget to test the debug build.

Best regards,
Martin

Hi,

May I get reviews for enhancement backport of JDK-8188868: PPC64: Support 
AES intrinsics on Big Endian?

There is no code change except for an immediate parameter of vsldoi (-8 in 
jdk8u was changed to 8 to match with the latest code), besides the 
difference of directory tree structure.

Since not a small number of customers are still using jdk8, especially in 
AIX, JDK-8188868 is important for them to improve performance of secure 
network transportation.


Regards,
Ogata
