Summary: split up compute_generation_free_space() into two functions: compute_eden_space_size() + compute_old_gen_free_space(), each of which (if needed) can be reused without executing an overhead of the other.

Reviewed-by: johnc, jcoomes

Summary: G1 now uses two reference processors - one is used by concurrent marking and the other is used by STW GCs (both full and incremental evacuation pauses). In an evacuation pause, the reference processor is embedded into the closures used to scan objects. Doing so causes causes reference objects to be 'discovered' by the reference processor. At the end of the evacuation pause, these discovered reference objects are processed - preserving (and copying) referent objects (and their reachable graphs) as appropriate.

Summary: Use _max_num_q = max(discovery_degree, processing_degree), and let balance_queues() redistribute from discovery_degree to processing_degree of queues. This should also allow a more dynamic and flexible parallelism policy in the future.

Reviewed-by: apetrusenko

Summary: For current soft-ref clearing policies, we can decide at marking time if a soft-reference will definitely not be cleared, postponing the decision of whether it will definitely be cleared to the final reference processing phase. This can be especially beneficial in the case of concurrent collectors where the marking is usually concurrent but reference processing is usually not.
