I have excluded `vmTestbase` and `hotspot:tier4,` because they take 10+ hours on my highly parallel machine. I have also excluded `applications` from `hotspot:tier4`, because they require test dependencies (e.g. jcstress).

assuming the goal of tier4 is to catch the rest of the tests, I don't think we should exclude `vmTestbase`, `applications` or any other tests from tier4. unless you also want to create tier5 for them.
