Currently the CDS tests are filtered out in an ad-hoc fashion. E.g., in test/hotspot/jtreg/runtime/appcds/HelloTest.java

 * @summary Hello World test for AppCDS
 * AppCDS does not support uncompressed oops
 * @requires (vm.opt.UseCompressedOops == null) | (vm.opt.UseCompressedOops == true)

The tests related to archived heap objects are more confusing:

 * Feature support: G1GC only, compressed oops/kptrs, 64-bit os, not on windows
 * @requires (sun.arch.data.model != "32") & (os.family != "windows")
 * @requires (vm.opt.UseCompressedOops == null) | (vm.opt.UseCompressedOops == true)
 * @requires vm.gc.G1

This should be changed to high-level properties to something like:

@require vm.cds
@require vm.cds.appcds
@require vm.cds.archived.objects

(names are TBD)
