Description
The xrender pipeline was added relatively late in JDK 7 and it took until
even later to work out some kinks. Since it offers a lot of performance
for some cases, it is desirable to enable it very early in JDK 8 so
it gets more exposure and we can know whether it can be left on for GA.
As with other pipelines whether its actually enabled will depend on
whether its supported on the hardware.

Comments
EVALUATION need to set the requested flag to true by default.
