> The VM now exits gracefully if `-XX:LargePageSizeInBytes` is set to a non power of two value, instead of asserting. After this change, `SizeTTest.java` failed because the tested values are not valid for `-XX:LargePageSizeInBytes` (`LargePageSizeInBytesConstraintFunc` returns `JVMFlag::VIOLATES_CONSTRAINT`). Therefore, I updated the test to use `NUMASpaceResizeRate`, since I believe that it only requires a flag of type `size_t`.
