Changes look good to me, just a few comments below.

src/hotspot/share/runtime/javaThread.cpp line 2121:

The comment above `JavaThread::sleep_nanos` should be updated about this case.
Also, back in `JVM_SleepNanos` we should probably skip throwing IE for this case (even though it will be overwritten by the async one later).
