DO NOT MERGE Further refinement of card table clear
We're currently using memset() to clear cards out to the growth
limit, which on a device configured for 48MB/128MB process caps
means we're sitting on 384KB or 1MB of pages. We can reduce that
substantially.
This change attempts to reduce the memset() length to the currently
active portion of the card table, based on the placement of objects
in the "live objects" bitmap. This should avoid faulting in card
pages that we don't actually need.
This is suboptimal when parts of the card table are used briefly
and then ignored for a while. An alternative implementation, which
uses madvise(DONTNEED) aggressively, is also included (#ifdefed out).
