> This change moves almost all of the ConcurrentMark initialisation from its constructor to the method `G1ConcurrentMark::fully_initialize()`. Thus, creation time of the VM can be slightly improved by postponing creation of ConcurrentMark. Most time is saved postponing creation of statistics buffers and threads.
>
> It is not obvious that this is the best solution. I have earlier experimented with lazily allocating statistics buffers _only_. One could also initialise a little bit more eagerly (for example the concurrent mark thread) and maybe get a slightly cleaner change. However IMO it seems better to not have ConcurrentMark "half initiated" with a created mark thread, but un-initialised worker threads.

> This change is depending on the integration of https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8373253.

> I will be out for vacation, and will be back after new year (and will not answer questions during that time), but I thought I get the pull request out now so that you can have a look.
