The HPI is left over from bygone years where we had a portability layer and needed to support green and native threading models. Some of the code has not been used or maintained since the transition to HotSpot back in jdk1.3. As of jdk7-b123, the HPI library (libhpi.so/hpi.dll) isn't loaded and it's finally time to wield the axe and remove this old code. The webrev with the changes is here: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~alanb/6993732/webrev/

Thanks,

Alan.
