Description
execution of micros as functional tests has been proven to be instrumental in spotting hotspot, or more precisely JIT, bugs.

this RFE is to consider the usage of microbenchmarks from test/micro directory, which were brought to jdk source by JEP 230, as functional/stress tests; meaning we are not going to look at performance results and will just check if a microbenchmark is able to finish successfully.
