in g1CollectedHeap.cpp

4792   T heap_oop = oopDesc::load_heap_oop(p);
4793 
4794   // Filter out all NULL references up front avoiding checking this again
4795   // over and over.
4796   if (oopDesc::is_null(heap_oop)) {
4797     return;
4798   }
4799 
4800   oop obj = oopDesc::load_decode_heap_oop_not_null(p);

Why do you dereference p again after the null check? You could just have:
oop obj = oopDesc::decode_heap_oop_not_null(heap_oop)

Otherwise the changes look good.
