    Description

      Many of the cardtable interfaces and class hierarchy were designed
      at a time when HotSpot was still growing up and designed as a vehicle
      for research and evolution. This has, however, resulted in much avoidable
      cruft and convoluted class hierarchies that serve no real purpose
      in a commercial product JVM. They make code comprehension and
      maintenance expensive and can also make finding, diagnosing and
      finding bugs difficult, as well as leaving performance on the table.

      This CR is aimed at cleaning up this accumulated cruft from the
      classes. See comments section for the specific details.
