In line with the intended location for other VM annotations, see 8138732 [1], @sun.misc.Contended should be moved to the jdk.internal.vm.annotation package.

While this is up for review, could someone please explain again why @Contended should not be a public annotation? Without it, non-JDK concurrent data structures still have to use the kinds of non-portable paddings that led us to introduce the annotation. See for example JCTools https://github.com/JCTools/JCTools and Disruptor http://lmax-exchange.github.io/disruptor/
