Thanks for cleaning this up. GC changes look good. Just one minor thing, 
please align the assignment here:

@@ -147,8 +145,7 @@

  void ThreadLocalAllocBuffer::reset_statistics() {
    _number_of_refills = 0;
-  _fast_refill_waste = 0;
-  _slow_refill_waste = 0;
+  _refill_waste = 0;
    _gc_waste          = 0;
    _slow_allocations  = 0;
    _allocated_size    = 0;


I agree that Serviceability should ack the jstat change.

cheers,
Per
