Hi Jon,

  thanks a lot for your comments, appreciated.

Fixed.

I fixed that by moving this calculation into the policy to make clear
that this _target_occupancy is an internal value. I would have needed
this refactoring anyway for JDK-8140777.

(And it certainly looks better.)

Added.

Removed. Copy&paste error :)
