Please review the change at http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~bharadwaj/8004967/webrev/

Default interface methods are new in Java 8. VM creates overpass methods in the vtable slots of classes to invoke a default method using invokespecial.

Consequently, invocation of default interface methods (i.e., overpass methods in the VM) via invokespecial is legal and should not be flagged as illegal.

In short, this change allows invocation of default methods of Java 8 using invokespecial.

I ran JCK (vm, lang, api) tests, runThese and vm.quicklist with no new failures.

Thanks,

Bharadwaj
