Summary: Pad and cache-align BiasedMappedArray instances by default to avoid performance variability problems due to false sharing, as instances of this data structures are typically used for performance sensitive code.
Reviewed-by: brutisso, stefank

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.
Reviewed-by: stefank

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.
