-XX:+UseOldInlining

[Aleksey Shipilev]

Hi,

Does anyone remember the story behind -XX:+UseOldInlining? I have
googled, wandered through HotSpot code, searched through JIRA, grepped
through Mercurial to no avail. The history on this predates OpenJDK.

In seems we have it unconditionally turned on. It makes the inlining
policy a little less understandable to have additional branch here and
there. Should we purge this option from the VM codebase? If so, I can
prepare the proper revision of this scratch change:

Thanks,
-Aleksey.
