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.

Summary: move symbols from permgen into C heap and reference count them
Reviewed-by: never, acorn, jmasa, stefank

Summary: This changeset removes the zero-filling thread from G1 and collapses the two free region lists we had before (the "free" and "unclean" lists) into one. The new free list uses the new heap region sets / lists abstractions that we'll ultimately use it to keep track of all regions in the heap. A heap region set was also introduced for the humongous regions. Finally, this change increases the concurrency between the thread that completes freeing regions (after a cleanup pause) and the rest of the system (before we'd have to wait for said thread to complete before allocating a new region). The changest also includes a lot of refactoring and code simplification.

6692906: CMS: parallel concurrent marking may be prone to hanging or stalling mutators for periods of time
Summary: Inserted missing yield(check)s in closures used during the work-stealing phase of parallel concurrent marking, a missing synchronous yield-request in the cms perm gen allocation path, and a terminator-terminator for the offer_termination invocation that monitors the yield status of the concurrent marking task. Elaborated some documentation comments and made some task queue termination loop flags configurable at start-up to aid debugging in the field.
