Description
G1 does not return a correct value for the CollectedHeap::millis_since_last_gc which is called from the JVM_MaxObjectInspectionAge, used by the RMI "distributed gc".

This is a day-1 issue in G1 and an implementation should be added for completeness.

ILW=
L, objects may not be garbage collected as regularly as expected
M, likelihood of setting sun.rmi.dgc.{client,server}.gcInterval is unclear, default value is 1h
M, switch to a different GC
