> [Trying again, after a couple previous proposals.]
> 
> Please review this change to os::pretouch_memory to permit use of the memory
> being pretouched concurrently with the pretouch operation.  This will allow
> future changes that can make use of such overlap.
> 
> Testing:
> mach5 tier1-3 with -XX:+AlwaysPreTouch.
> 
> Verified no performance impact by comparing startup times with Epsilon GC and
> -XX:+AlwaysPretouch on a large enough heap that the pretouch takes a
> significant amount of time.  Tested on both linux-x64 and linux-aarch64.
> 
> None of these test concurrent use; that will wait for future changes that use
> the new feature.
