I got a chance to talk to Valerie, and what you've done looks good. I'm
"wetmore" if you need a reviewer, and I think Kelly has looked at it too.

Please leave your new code check within the "ifdef OPENJDK".
Will you be putting this back yourself? If so let me know when you go
in, and I can update the bug once you're in.

Unfortunately, Oracle and some of our commercial (non-OpenJDK) licensees
still depend on that tricky code. :( I'd personally love to strip it
all out, but we have to balance all of its consumers (Oracle SE and ME,
commercial source/binary licensees, OpenJDK, etc.)

Unfortunately, not likely in our current export/import climate.
