The feedback from testing is that we should use "@requires vm.gc=XXX" if at all possible instead of the explucdes lists in TEST.groups, but there are some cases that still need excludes groups (like tests that use ProcessBuilder).

The fix for JDK-8079134 removes most of the applicable_*gc and needs_*gc groups from TEST.groups file, except for "needs_g1gc", so limit fix here to the "needs_g1gc" list.

These tests probably need to be added to TEST.groups: gc/TestSmallHeap.java gc/logging/TestGCId.java gc/TestCardTablePageCommits.java gc/arguments/TestParallelHeapSizeFlags.java

The original bug JDK-8076995 uncovered several GC regression tests specify a particular GC, but this was not noted in TEST.groups. This might allow some configurations of hotspot, such as embedded, try to run tests that specified collectors that were not part of the particular configuration.
