Hmm, those tests will fail on cgv2 without https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8322420

[GoeLin]

OK, JDK-8322420 is a larger one, and it needs two other changes. So this makes no sense.
Except if you, @jankratochvil , intend to bring JDK-8322420 to 17, anyways?

I think at least
JDK-8302744 "Refactor Hotspot container detection code" and
JDK-8331560 "Refactor Hotspot container detection code so that subsystem delegates to controllers"
are needed, too.

[jerboaa]

Yes. I suggest to not backport this.
