        CMS doesn't work with compressed oops so it's turned off because it has these chunk headers that use the lsb of the _klass field which is not zero in the compressed oops case.

        In 64 bit mode, use a bit in the markOop instead of the lsb in the _klass field to indicate free. There's apparently 25 spare bits in the markOop in 64 bit.

        btw, I volunteered to do this too.
