RFR(L): 8075506: aix: improve handling of native memory

[Vladimir Kozlov]

Looks good. I only glanced through os_aix.cpp changes - they look fine 
from 'glance'.

Could you explain a little about allocate_stack_guard_pages() returning 
false? The comment say that you are not using normal C stack. Is it true?

Thanks,
Vladimir
