RFR (XL): JDK-8086706 Parallel Full GC for CMS

[Volker Simonis]

Hi,

if nobody has already started doing it, I'll try to forward port the
patch to jdk9/hs-gc/hotspot.

Once we have that, we can do the JEP.

@Jungwoo: I can assist you with the JEP creation and the whole process
(I've already done that for our PPC/AIX port).

Thanks,
Volker
