Well, the othervm mode is needed not because of the cleanup/disable of
SecurityManager, but to ensure that SunPKCS11 provider is created under
a SecurityManager.
Without the othervm mode, the test will always pass even if the
necessary permission is not in java.policy because SunPKCS11 provider is
already created and present when this test is run. This is also a
surprise to me when I first run the regression test against the
before-fix java.policy and the test kept passing unexpectedly.

Sean,
Given how trivial this is, I initially covered it in the fix for
7191662.
However, fix for 7191662 took longer than anticipated to go in and now
SQE has filed a bug for this.
Thus, I separated this out into a separate webrev. Can u please take a
look?

I am pretty sure you don't need to run the test in othervm mode, since
jtreg agentvm mode should be able to cleanup/disable the
SecurityManager so that the VM can be reused. You could double-check
with Jon Gibbons to be sure. Otherwise, looks good.
