Description
A diagnostic flag was added during the fix to 5075546, in order to revert
to the pre-fix functionality (-XX:-UseMembar).

Since the change has been incorporated into 38 promotions of J2SE 6.0 and there
has been no negative impact related to this new functionality, it is now time to 
take out this diagnostic option.

The removal of this flag should have no negative side affects.  In fact
there may be a very slight performance improvement in VM runtime calls 
since we are testing this flag on each transition in and out of the
VM for runtime services.
