Summary: Support for the -XX:+UseLargePages flag causes crashes on BSD
platforms such as MacOS X. This proposed change adds code to print out
a message if -XX:+UseLargePages is specified on this platform and to
then ignore the flag.

This change was tested with JPRT and JCK tests. Also, tests were run by
hand on a MacOS X machine specifying the -XX:+UseLargePages flag to make
sure that the message was output and no crashes occurred.
Thanks, Harold
