jdk8 b58,   hsx25.b02

When NPG happened, the PermSize flags started giving warnings


java -XX:PermSize=32m -version
java version "1.8.0-ea"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0-ea-b57)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 24.0-b22, mixed mode)

java -XX:PermSize=32m -version
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM warning: ignoring option PermSize=32m; 
support was removed in 8.0
java version "1.8.0-ea"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0-ea-b58)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 25.0-b02, mixed mode)
