ia64, sparc, sparc64, kfreebsd-i386 and kfreebsd-amd64 are now demoted to gcj on
the VCS.  Had to demote ia64 too, and don't want to investigate anymore.

I'll upload java-common later this week.

The good news is that arm64, mips, mipsel, powerpcspe, ppc64el and x32 are now
promoted to use openjdk-7.
