Yeah, this 'merge from -current' effort has been stalled a number of
times by various folks. If you can commit to finishing this, then a lot
of folks will really appreciate it. IMO, porting it myself is not a good
use of my development time since I'm just about the only person in this
group that's capable of doing HotSpot internals at this moment and I can
be doing a lot more significant things.

BTW, I've also taking over the 1.4 HotSpot porting effort. I hope to
have reliable threading working pretty soon after some fixes from a code
review.
