Rather than moving the do_oop definitions, maybe instead add explicit
instantiations of the template in the .cpp file, e.g.

template void G1VerifyOopClosure::do_oop_nv(oop*); 
template void G1VerifyOopClosure::do_oop_nv(narrowOop*); 

I'm not sure what's different about gcc4.9 (what we test with at
Oracle) that would have allowed the existing code to work at all.
