RFR(M): 8171181: Supporting heap allocation on alternative memory devices

[Jini George]

Hi Kishor,

Wanted a clarification. For Linux, wouldn't the coredump_filter file 
also have to be modified (by setting bit 3 or bit 8 ?) to ensure that 
the java heap gets dumped into the corefile when a coredump occurs ?

Thanks,
Jini.
