> ZGC (both generational and non-generational) use asynchronous unmapping. Today the amount of unmapping requests we can queue up is unbounded. This can lead to a classic consumer producer problem, where the consumer is slower than the producer, and we eventually run out of address space and have to shut down.

Going forwards, there are some ideas to both increase the speed of unmapping and reduce the need for unmapping, but this PR is focused only on introducing a configurable bound for async unmapping.
