The change looks good, but I realized that reclaim_empty_regions() uses 
a task named G1CleanupTask. This naming is a bit unfortunate now since 
this is not the cleanup phase anymore, but still correct since we are 
doing cleanup. What do you think about renaming it to G1CleanRegionTask 
or G1ReclaimRegionTask? I also see that "cleanup" ripples down a bit but 
I don't think we need to change that. I'm fine with not doing anything 
at all but if you dislike the suggestion, but I wanted to raise the 
question.

Thanks,
Stefan
