On thing that struck me that must have slipped my previous jdk10 review 
(but doesn't stop this backport):

-  void start_concurrent_marking();
    void stop_concurrent_marking();

Why is start_concurrent_marking() gone, but not stop_concurrent_marking() ?


Can't say about C2 changes.

Other than that, it's good for me.
