1. CMS has different caller side setting for single-multi thread cases. 
( more details at https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-6938732 )
2. The reason for Parallel gc is a bit different. As it is not using 
WorkGang, changes are not trivial so it is not included at JDK-8043575. 
For this we have https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8204686.

Thanks,
Sangheon
