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: The from card cache is a very frequently accessed data structure. It is essentially a 2d array of per-region values, one row of values for every GC thread. Pad and align the data structure to avoid false sharing.

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.
