Description
ReduceInitialCardMarks created instability issues in G1 (6920109: G1: lingering instabilities with ReduceInitialCardMarks) because of a defect in G1 that allowed TLABs to be allocated into the old generation (see 6974966: G1: unnecessary direct-to-old allocations). The fix for 6974966 totally eliminated direct-to-old allocations (TLAB or non-TLAB allocations) so we should re-enable ReduceInitialCardMarks for G1 as the main issue that caused the instabilities should be been eliminated.
