Still waiting for a review, but have a new version:

Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-7097567
Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~drwhite/7097567/webrev.04/

Changes in rev 04 vs 02:
  - Updated for GC source restructuring.
  - Removed "_in_young_gc_mode" field, which had been deleted by a bug 
fix earlier but had been mistakenly resurrected.
  - Moved yc_type() from G1CollectedHeap to G1CollectorState.

Thanks!

  - Derek
