Please correct me if I'm wrong here but it looks like all the non-G1 
collectors set the _should_clear_all_soft_refs based on 
gc_overhead_limit_near.
Perhaps the ClearedAllSoftRefs scoped object could be modified to only 
work with GenCollectorPolicy derived policies (which include parallel 
*shrugs*) and G1 should just stop worrying about _all_soft_refs_clear.
Looking closer, I can't even find G1 code looking at that member so 
maybe it, too, should be moved to GenCollectorPolicy?

What do you think?
