Updated webrev based on feedback received so far. I've split the updates 
into many smaller ones for easier reviewing.

---------------

* Misc. smaller adjustments.
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~pliden/8245208/webrev.1-misc/

* Don't use CollectedHeap::total_collections() in ZPageAllocation.
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~pliden/8245208/webrev.1-total_collections/

* Don't fiddle with MinHeapSize/InitialHeapSize after initialization.
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~pliden/8245208/webrev.1-min_initial_heap_size/

* Introduce "claimed" instead of fiddling with "used" when uncommitting.

* Adjust JFR events.
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~pliden/8245208/webrev.1-events/

* Introduce ZConditionLock.
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~pliden/8245208/webrev.1-conditionlock/

* Restructure the ZUncommitter.
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~pliden/8245208/webrev.1-zuncommitter/

* Introduce ZUnmapper to asynchronous unmap pages (broken out into a 
separate bug, JDK-8246220)

---------------

And finally, here's a combined diff, with all of the above patches:

Testing: Multiple runs of Tier1-6, multiple iterations of gc-test-suite.

cheers,
