http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~tschatzl/8073632/webrev/src/share/vm/gc_implementation/g1/g1SATBCardTableModRefBS.hpp.frames.html

Why is this implemented as a call into G1BlockOffsetSharedArray?

  157   // Returns how many bytes of the heap a single byte of the Card 
Table corresponds to.
  158   static size_t heap_map_factor() {
  159     return G1BlockOffsetSharedArray::heap_map_factor();
  160   }

Thanks,
