[Issue]
The fix of OpenJDK's bug 8158260 (http://icedtea.classpath.org/hg/release/icedtea7-forest-2.6/hotspot/rev/4f8cbd54a9c6) introduced 2 new native methods to the sun.misc.Unsafe class: isBigEndian0 and unalignedAccess0.

This completely broke JamVM and as of now it is impossible to start a jamvm session.

jtreg summary results:
hotspot - Test results: passed: 5; failed: 309; error: 7
langtools - Test results: passed: 374; failed: 1,593; error: 1

An error output from a testcase:
----------System.err:(6/344)----------
Error initialising VM (initialiseMainThread)
Check the README for compatible class-libraries/versions
Exception occurred while printing exception (java/lang/NullPointerException)...
Original exception was java/lang/UnsatisfiedLinkError
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.
result: Failed. Unexpected exit from test [exit code: 1]

Running java -jamvm -version fails the same way.

[Fix]
The simple fix is to add both methods to the natives.c file in the classlib/openjdk directory.

I have tested this with IcedTea 2.6.7 and now jtreg passes:
hotspot - Test results: passed: 220; failed: 90; error: 11
langtools - Test results: passed: 1,901; failed: 65; error: 2

I have reported this upstream at https://sourceforge.net/p/jamvm/code/merge-requests/1/ and it is now waiting review.
