Description
While redoing the class filtering for Jigsaw, I noticed that we mistakenly ship the osx and ios media classes on all platforms (e.g., Windows and Linux).

This is not a regression. Since we don't ship any native libraries for OS X on non-Mac platforms, they don't cause any harm, but they are unneeded.
Comments
I note that the issue still exists in 7 and 8, but is not worth fixing.

This was fixed as part of the Jigsaw modularization -- JDK-8092093.

The Rampdown phase start [1] milestone is approaching, it means we are not targeting "9" to fix P4s anymore, unless the fix is ready and not risky, safe enough do not introduce P2-P3 regressions; if this is a case you can retarget back to "9" right before the push the reviewed code to repo.
