1864   ReservedSpace heap_rs = Universe::reserve_heap(max_byte_size,
1865 heap_alignment);
1866
1867   size_t page_sz = os::page_size_for_region_aligned(max_byte_size, 1);
1868   os::trace_page_sizes("g1 heap", 
collector_policy()->min_heap_byte_size(),
1869                        max_byte_size, page_sz,
1870                        heap_rs.base(),
1871                        heap_rs.size());

I think it looks odd that we look up the page size that we print instead 
of actually getting the page size that was used.

What I mean is that if we change the implementation of 
Universe::reserve_heap() to do something differently than using 
os::page_size_for_region_aligned() then this logging will suddenly be 
broken. I would prefer if we could somehow communicate what page size 
that was actually used. Or is it even the case that it is 
Universe::reserve_heap() that should do the call to os::trace_page_sizes()?

Another thing, which is not really related to your change. There are two 
version of os::trace_page_sizes(). I couldn't find any user of this version:

os::trace_page_sizes(const char* str, const size_t* page_sizes, int count)

Can that one be removed?

Thanks,
Bengt
