[9] RFR (L): 8059623: JEP-JDK-8043304: Test task: command line options tests

[Tobias Hartmann]

Hi Filipp,

the actual size of a code heap is affected by alignment and therefore may be
different to the size set via the command line. For example, on Sparc we have to
make sure that the code heaps are large page (4MB) aligned to reduce the number
of ITLB misses (will be introduced with [1]).

Maybe we should check if the actual size of the code heap is within boundaries,
i.e., within the specified size +- (large) page size.

Thanks,
Tobias
