The VPN is awesomely bad today.

The webrev in cr.openjdk is

It's safer.

It's a little strange of the implement of getKeyLengthMethod() because
of the following causes:
1. Class.getDeclaredMethod() cannot return inherited methods.

2. Class.forName("sun.security.pkcs11.P11Key") is not reliable.
   The current class loader is not always able to find the P11Key class.
 As you saw in the previous webrev, I specified the class loader while
searching for the class:
   Class.forName("sun.security.pkcs11.P11Key", true,
                      key.getClass().getClassLoader());

   There is one assumption that every key will come from the same class
loader during the JVM life. So we can cache the loaded P11Key class.
It's a little risky.

   And more, it's OK when there is only one PKCS11 provider.  However,
while we adding MSCAPI in, we will have to look through both PKCS11
provider and MSCAPI provider in order to select the proper cached key
class. If we get a key from none of PKCS11 and MSCAPI, we will continue
calling the Class.forName() repeatedly until we are able to encounter
the PKCS11 key or MSCAPI key. It's very bad in performance.

   The calling in the getKeyLengthMethod() is lightweight, and we don't
have to worry about the class loader any more.

I may add some new and simple tests on KeyLength only.
