Summary: Mentioned closures are actually wrapped methods. This adds confusion to readers, and in this case also increases code size as G1ParScanHeapEvacClosure is part of the oop_oop_iterate() methods. Move them into G1ParScanThreadState as methods.

Summary: Change the code cache remembered sets data structure from a GrowableArray to a chunked list of nmethods. This makes the data structure more amenable to parallelization, and decreases freeing time.

Summary: Replace the broken large pages implementation on Linux. New flag: -XX:+UseTransparentHugePages - Linux specific flag to turn on transparent huge page hinting with madvise(..., MAP_HUGETLB). Changed behavior: -XX:+UseLargePages - tries to use -XX:+UseTransparentHugePages before trying other large pages implementations (on Linux). Changed behavior: -XX:+UseHugeTLBFS - Use upfront allocation of Large Pages instead of using the broken implementation to dynamically committing large pages. Changed behavior: -XX:LargePageSizeInBytes - Turned off the ability to use this flag on Linux and provides warning to user if set to a value different than the OS chosen large page size. Changed behavior: Setting no large page size - Now defaults to use -XX:UseTransparentHugePages if the OS supports it. Previously, -XX:+UseHugeTLBFS was chosen if the OS was configured to use large pages.
