Hi,

I'd like to contribute this patch. I need a reviewer who is familiar
with the Hotspot Serviceability Agent.

The description of the patch is something like:

        Accounting for more memory uses associated with class metadata
        in PermGen which "jmap -permstat" misses.

In a small test, the "jmap -permstat" command reports only about
50-60% of the permgen memory usage (compared to the actual usage of
permgen based on what the "jmap" command reports). This patch will
increase the number up to 80-90%.

Here's the patch which is based on a very recent version of
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/jdk7
