RFR: 8061467: Bad page size passed to setup_large_pages() on Solaris

[Thomas Schatzl]

Hi all,

  since Erik is on vacation and this bug prevents a lot of tests from
running, I took over and added a (simple) regression test case.

Bug:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8061467

Webrev:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~tschatzl/8061467/webrev/

Testing:
jprt, Solaris numa machine showing the crash before, and no crash after
the change, local testing, jprt test case runs

Since the test is extremely simple (class with empty main method), I am
going to keep Erik as the original author of this change as his change
is the one that required the hard work.

Thanks,
  Thomas
