All new header files have the wrong (Sun) copyright header. I'm backing off from introducing new header files. The only new file is methodHandlesx86.hpp. See what you think. The idea is to allow each port to control its own individual future relative to this refactoring. The logic is toward the bottom of this diff: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jrose/6939861/webrev.05/src/share/vm/prims/methodHandles.hpp.udiff.html Also, this new webrev is relative to hotspot-comp, not bsd-port: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jrose/6939861/webrev.05 Thanks. I'm hoping we can put this in today, especially with the reduced dependency on port changes.

Yes, I'm very sure we can. I will review it right now and again do some test builds. Having this in will also make my porting work easier.
