Not sure what relevance there is to hotspot :)
Not meaning to be difficult but why not just apply this change to the 7u
code and use the appropriate constructors? As I general rule (there are
exceptions eg java.util.concurrent) I don't think the libraries code is
written to be directly usable in multiple JDK versions.
Or even add a package-private InternalError class that subclasses
java.lang.InternalError to add the new constructors? (for 7u)

8000989: smaller code changes to make future JSR 292 backports easier
Reviewed-by:
In 8 we added two new constructors to InternalError which we use in
292. Factor InternalError generation to a method to make future
backports to 7u easier.
