I filed JDK-8080765 to handle the cleanups in the SA.

Since the restructure of the GC files went in I had to rebase my patch. 
Mercurial handled it flawlessly and I only had to merge two files where I added 
a new include, genMarkSweep.cpp and vmGCOperations.hpp

A new webrev with the new patch is available here:
