I agree there is no general documentation available, AIX defines vipa
interface flag as "0x80000000"
In which case I don't see any problems with your proposed source
changes. One could argue that maybe they should go through the specific
porting project ( since it's not directly relevant to existing supported
platforms ), but I see this more of a clean up exercise. No need to
carry such a trivial change in a project sub repo.
Usually a new testcase is recommended, but in this case the
functionality ( isUp, isXXX() ) is already exercised by many many tests
so I think we can leave it to the other tests.
I filed a new bug to track this issue,
CR 7190254: "NetworkInterface getFlags implementation should support
full integer bit range for flags value."
If you don't mind, I would like to take your patch to NetworkInterface.c
and run some sanity builds and tests on it. I'd hope to get this done
later today or early tomorrow.

Here is a similar bug report related to FreeBSD
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/macosx-port/macosx-port/jdk/rev/c6334146005c.
A different fix was proposed here.
Hope this helps.
Thanks
