So for the most part, it's just replacing the usages of RUNNABLE. The additional states require refactoring tryGetStackTrace, this is the method that is used for Thread::getStackTrace when the virtual thread is unmounted. It is also changed to not not swallow the REE if the reesubmit fails (tryStackTrace has to resubmit as the task for the thread may run, or the thread unparked, while "suspended" and sampling its stack trace). The changes are a subset of larger changes in the loom repo, future PRs will propose to bring in other changes to get main line up to date.

The fix looks good to me.
Also, it can be more safe to run mach5 tier6 as well.
