Summary: Deferred card marks are now flushed during the gc prologue. Parallel[Scavege,OldGC] and SerialGC no longer defer card marks generated by COMPILER2 as a result of ReduceInitialCardMarks. For these cases, introduced a diagnostic option to defer the card marks, only for the purposes of testing and diagnostics. CMS and G1 continue to defer card marks. Potential performance concern related to single-threaded flushing of deferred card marks in the gc prologue will be addressed in the future.

Summary: Default values set by cms ergonomics are set with FLAG_SET_DEFAULT so down stream the values look like the default values and affect how later parameters are set.  Set these values with FLAG_SET_ERGO instead and adjust how later parameters are interpreted.
