      One idea to sidestep the humongous object fragmentation issue in G1 could be reserving a multiple of MaxHeapSize for the G1 java heap and make sure that G1 only ever commits MaxHeapsize space.

      The feature to allow allocation of the old gen on NV-DIMM in JDK-8202286 implemented a similar scheme.

      Azul's Zing also does the same.
