Sure, the webrev is updated below with your comments and Joe's 
suggestion of adding a query API for provider configuration.
I added a trivial regression test for the uninitialized PKCS11 provider 
as well.

Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~valeriep/8130648/webrev.01/

Will update CCC once the webrev review is done.
Thanks,
Valerie
