JDK-8056124 - Hotspot should use PICL interface to get cacheline size on SPARC
Description
JDK9 on solaris-amd64 6 machine fails with error message like 
Error: failed /export/home/aurora/RunData/java_build/jre/lib/amd64/server/libjvm.so, because ld.so.1: java: fatal: libpicl.so.1: open failed: No such file or directory

I dont' think it should die due to this missing library.

I don't think the PICL libraries are installed on our default solaris11.2 (amd64) images. I'm not sure this might be a difference form 11.1 to 11.2 as we saw similar failures setting up re build machines and we reverted to using 11.1.

The fix for that is in JDK-8059200. I think it just made it to the top repo today.

[~iveresov], I'm sure this is a duplicate.

JDK-8059200 - it could be this fix has not reached nightly build of jdk9-dev(???).

Test machines(solaris-amd64) on which aurora's gatherJRE job failed due to missing picl libs: sc14160118.us, sc14160119.
