Hi

I think that it would be better to split this test into 4 tests. 
Currently this test is going to be skipped if any specific GCare set. Or 
it could even fail if any G1 specific options is set without setting G1 
explicitly.

So there is no way to run this with additional G1/CMS/ParGC specific 
options now.
