RFR: 8027960: Assertion assert(end >= start) failed during nightly testing on solaris

[Jon Masamitsu]

Stefan,

Change looks good.

There are _gen_alignments and _space_alignments in CollectorPolicy.
Where those are initialized there is no calculation of a new_alignment
based on page size.  For example,

void MarkSweepPolicy::initialize_alignments() {
   _space_alignment = _gen_alignment = (uintx)Generation::GenGrain;
   _heap_alignment = compute_heap_alignment();
}

Should those places be calculating and using a new_alignment?

Jon
