> The idea here is to reduce contention on the shared `_threads_in_evac` counter by splitting its state over multiple independent cache lines. Each thread hashes to one particular counter based on its `Thread*`. This helps improve throughput of concurrent evacuation where many Java threads may be attempting to update this counter on the load barrier slow path.
