Yes, you are right. Then the only option is: -XX:+UnlockDiagnosticVMOptions -XX:-CheckIntrinsics

Thinking about this a bit further, are these messages going to be enabled by default when jdk9 is released?

These kind of messages are clearly only for the benefit of hotspot developers, and has zero value to end users, who wouldn't know anything about this annotation or the implications of it.

For the average user, heck you have to be a pretty advanced user to even know what intrinsic means, getting warnings like this, I can only think it would do a lot more harm than good, thinking that their installation is broken or something.
