Hi Harald (and others),
Great to see that you've made it this far! Sorry for the delayed
responses, I've been ill for a while and are starting to work through my
backlog now.

Hi Harald,
Can you create a PR against mainline so that we can see the scope of the
changes and how they have been implemented?
Here you go:
https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/23611
As mentioned in the notes for the PR, this is mainly ment to get your
feedback and as a draft to assess the scope, and to be a base for
discussing how (and if) to proceed with the port.
This was a good move. When actually integrating any code, a different
approach will be needed (for instance, the original writer/copyright
holder must be clear for every line of code that should be integrated so
we can check OCA acceptance). I do believe that a piecewise integration
is much preferable to trying to add everything once.
That will however require us to accept that we for a while are going to
have a port in the mainline that might not even successfully build, even
less work. But I think that is preferable to a big massive integration.
That reasoning also indicates that maybe the first parts that should go
in is the build system changes that are needed to even try to build the
BSD port...
