And here are my 8080113 comments:

==============================================================================

8080113: Remove CollectedHeap::set_par_threads()

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
src/share/vm/gc_implementation/g1/concurrentMark.cpp
2001   uint n_workers = _g1h->workers()->active_workers();
...
2042   G1ParNoteEndTask g1_par_note_end_task(g1h, &_cleanup_list, n_workers);

With the various cleanups, the declaration of n_workers is now a long
way from its first use.

And none of this matters, since the offending function will be removed in 8080113.
