Description
Starting in b05, we can no longer run with -XX:+AggressiveHeap:

/net/koori/onestop/jdk/7u4/promoted/all/b05/binaries/solaris-x64/bin/java -d64 -XX:+AggressiveHeap -version Error occurred during initialization of VM
Incompatible compilation policy selected

This is still broken in b15.

EVALUATION AggressiveHeap sets the compilation policy for some reason, and the policy choice conflict with tiered. I don't think it should be setting the policy at all.
