Yeah, documentation was always sketchy. Then again, they were never 
intended to be used by anything outside of the JDK.

Once Frederic's patch is in then I think this is the last of the 
JVM_Read usages in the libraries so it becomes a candidate to remove 
along with the socket and other functions are also no longer used.
