I erroneously had this PR on the `lworld` branch, then moved it to the `lworld+fp16` branch, where it belongs.

However, the webrevs now show the diffs w.r.t. `lworld`, which is quite confusing.
In addition, the "Files changed" tab shows diffs for `Float16.valueOf(long)` that should not appear in `lworld+fp16`.

Short of closing this PR and open it again in the right branch (but I'm not sure this works without conflicts), I'm clueless.
So I'm asking for advice.
