Hi, I wanted to try to build a JVM on Linux x86_64 with JVMCI disabled

The configure help output shows a long list how to enable those features
--enable-jvm-feature-cds
enable jvm feature 'cds' (enable class data sharing (CDS))
[...]
For disabling it seems the syntax --enable-jvm-feature-jvmci=no
seems to work .
Looking into make/autoconf/jvm-features.m4 this seems to be true for
all JVM features .
Should we add this to the help output ?
Would be useful to have some sentence like
--enable-jvm-feature-<name>=no can be used to disable a JVM feature .
Should we add this to the configure help ?
I think `--disable-xxx` is the more usual autoconf way. Though
expecting users to just know that doesn't seem right, so having the help
text say something about it seems like a good idea. But the relevant
help text is probably (mostly?) automatically generated by the built-in
autoconf tooling.
