Proposal for adding O_DIRECT support into JDK 9

Hi Lucy,

I am unsure of the best way to get the native code to build as part of the test build. One example however of where this is done is in <JDK_REPO>/jdk/test/java/awt/JAWT but the test is a shell test and we are trying to move away from those. I do not know exactly what Alan intends by his comment. There are other tests which have pre-compiled shared libraries checked into the SCM. If there is a problem with the native library itself or in locating it, then I would think the test should fail and we would be alerted that there is a problem.

Thanks,

Brian
