[drlvm] assorted bug fixes contribution for DRLVM

Hi,

I would like to announce a contribution of assorted bug fixes
and improvements to DRLVM on behalf of my colleagues and Intel corporation.
The zip file with patches is attached to HARMONY-856.

The bug fixes were developed simultaneously with the tedious
process of preparing the original DRLVM contribution.

Fixes are fairly widespread in the codebase, and result 
in some great stability improvements, such as running
24 hours straight with complicated workloads, like development in Eclipse.

This contribution is somewhat lagging behind the time when the patches
were developed due to the rigorous internal process of legal scanning
of all code contributed by Intel. Nevertheless, this 
contribution moves us significantly forward in achieving
the goal of publishing the backlog of DRLVM fixes.

To make the review of changes more convenient, each change is
accompanied with a detailed description.

Thanks, Tim.
It was very awkward of me to file it as "new feature".
I have even managed to upload the file twice and could not delete it :)

Thanks Salikh -- just to make it clear I have classified the JIRA as a
'contribution' rather than a 'new feature'.

Regards,
Tim

sure.

The contributed patches fix
* a couple of memory leaks in DRLVM
* incorrect code for SWAP operation in Jitrino.JET
* a number of bugs in kernel classes
* bug in capabilities handling in JVMTI
* several incorrect assertions

More detailed information is provided in the patches themselves.

Salikh,
  Thanks for this set of fixes. Though I understand that the changes are
described in the zip, would it be possible for you to list/summarize some of
the key changes in the submission on this thread?

Thanks,
Rana
