If you are in agreement, is it best to move this first step on and push it into hs-rt. I can then follow up with the additional steps: hotspot test updates in hs-rt, and the library changes in jdk9/dev, in parallel. I would have expected all changes to stay together in the same forest (hs-rt), so I'm not clear what additional library changes in jdk9/dev you are referring to here. It all looks fine to me too. Once this first phase gets to jdk9/dev then the rest of the library code using sun.misc.Unsafe can be switched to the jdk.internal version. They could move in the first phase too but that makes it a bigger patch so I think Chris has wisely limited the library changes to just those that are using methods that are new in 9.
