Description
Currently, when a mutator helps refining a dirty card buffer, it refines the current buffer it just filled.
In many situations this is not a good idea, because often the mutator will keep accessing the same memory areas again, immediately generating new card entries.

Change the algorithm to use the last (oldest) buffer.

There is a preliminary patch attached, needs perf testing.
