Shouldn't we treat this issue as enhancement?

Currently JVMCI is compiled by the boot JDK. Until this changes, perhaps with the Jigsaw integration?, this issue is blocked. In addition a qualified export will be required in java.base: exports jdk.internal.vm.annotation to jdk.vm.ci; It is also assumed that classes in the jdk.vm.ci module are privileged code, see src/share/vm/classfile/classFileParser.cpp: const bool privileged = loader_data->is_the_null_class_loader_data() || loader_data->is_ext_class_loader_data() || loader_data->is_anonymous(); If this is not the case some form of additional checking will be required for classes of trusted modules.
