yes
    void Mutex::check_no_safepoint_state(Thread* thread) {
       check_block_state(thread);
       assert(!thread->is_active_Java_thread() || _safepoint_check_required != 
_safepoint_check_always,
              "This lock should always have a safepoint check for Java threads: 
%s",
              name());
     }

yes, we exclude the check for a non-java thread, which I thought was an odd 
exclusion last time I looked.  I pass the tests in 
sun/tools/jmap/BasicJMapTest.java so maybe leave it for now?
