RFR: JDK-8057632 - Remove auxiliary code used to handle the generations array

[Jesper Wilhelmsson]

Ping?

Needs one Review, Kim has approved it.

Latest version is in: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jwilhelm/8057632/webrev.03/

This change is blocking eight other cleanups following the generation array 
removal so it would be nice to get it in.

Thanks,
/Jesper
