  a TLAB refill is the process of a (Java) thread, having filled its
current TLAB with objects (or having some reason to give up the current
one), getting a new, empty, one for further allocation.

Where do you think in the (JDK) docs could be an appropriate place to
add a few sentences of explanation?

Thanks,
