Comparing the two patch files looks good. A couple of nits:

src/share/vm/classfile/javaClasses.cpp
     L1451: // Use specific ik version...
     L1884: // Use specific ik version...
         grammar: 'Use a specific ik version...'

     L1452: // refer to version that...
     L1885: // refer to version that...
         grammar: 'refer to a version that...'

src/share/vm/classfile/javaClasses.hpp
     No comments.

src/share/vm/oops/instanceKlass.cpp
     No comments.

src/share/vm/oops/instanceKlass.hpp
     No comments.

Thumbs up.
