Looks mostly good to me!

Can you make this minor change? Asynch to english speakers looks like a-cinch
and if left as Async is a-sink. Can you
remove the 'h's ? I see David above left off the extra h, which is what one
expects this to be named.

Nit: can you line up the data member names for lock and _active_handshaker ?
src/hotspot/share/runtime/handshake.cpp line 394:

Can you remove process_self_inner and just inline it here since this is it's
only caller and both are short functions?
If you don't want to, that's fine. I found myself searching for any other
callers of this, that's all.
