Description
The implementation of many of the methods in java.lang.Math reside in the JDK-private sun.misc.FpUtils.  Unless there is a good reason not to, this code should be migrated directly to java.lang and calls to methods available in both sun.misc.FpUtils and java.lang should use the java.lang entry point.
