The jasm and jdis tools used to run tests require enhancement to support the JVM changes of Value Classes and Objects, as described in JDK-8317278.

There are three class file changes:

1) The ACC_IDENTITY flag on class declarations, which replaces ACC_SUPER
2) The ACC_STRICT flag on fields (previously used on methods in legacy classes)
3) The LoadableDescriptors attribute, which contains a list of Utf8 descriptors

This task can be completed when the jtreg version used for mainline development includes a version of jasm that supports the new features.
