I just thought because poll is more file-descriptor oriented and not network specific. And the constants are also used for example in: src/macosx/classes/sun/nio/ch/KQueueArrayWrapper.java: src/solaris/classes/sun/nio/ch/sctp/Sctp* src/solaris/classes/sun/nio/ch/Port.java But actually I have no prefernece here so I can put them just as well to sun.nio.ch.Net > Would you be open to separating this one from the AIX > changes?

Although I still would like to push this to ppc-aix-port/stage-9 and ppc-aix-port/stage first because that's where we really need it. Anyway, the current plan is to merge ppc-aix-port/stage-9 into jdk9 mainline by the end of January and ppc-aix-port/stage into 8u-dev by the end of March (for 8u20).
