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.

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: 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.
