[9] RFR: JDK-8164322: sun/security/pkcs11/PKCS11Test.java shall be updated to run on ARM platforms

[Wang Weijun]

Looking at the webrev, it looks we've never tested on "Linux-arm-32" and "Linux-aarch64-64" before and we only realized it now. This is a true problem.

On the other hand, I also agree with Xuelei's concern. If a new platform is added and it does not have NSS libs tests will fail.

How about this? If there is such a new platform called "mhos-arch-32", we can add

   osMap("mhos-arch-32", new String[]{});

and, make nssLibDirs == null a failure, but nssLibDirs.length == 0 can return null.

Is this good?

Thanks
Max
