There are some SPIs that need adjustment to support loading the

Right, there are a few areas that need to be updated. In the case of
java.security.Policy then it appears to have never specified how the
policy provider is located. From what I can tell then it used to only
load it via the boot loader but was relaxed later to allow for policy
providers that are "installed" into the run-time image and loaded by the
extension loader. This needs to be re-examined now and also re-examined
to see how it will work with modules going forward.
