/*
 * Maintain a card table from the the write barrier. All writes of
 * non-NULL values to heap addresses should go through an entry in
 * WriteBarrier, and from there to here.
 *
 * The heap is divided into "cards" of GC_CARD_SIZE bytes, as
 * determined by GC_CARD_SHIFT. The card table contains one byte of
 * data per card, to be used by the GC. The value of the byte will be
 * one of GC_CARD_CLEAN or GC_CARD_DIRTY.
 *
 * After any store of a non-NULL object pointer into a heap object,
 * code is obliged to mark the card dirty. The setters in
 * ObjectInlines.h [such as dvmSetFieldObject] do this for you. The
 * JIT and fast interpreters also contain code to mark cards as dirty.
 *
 * The card table's base [the "biased card table"] gets set to a
 * rather strange value.  In order to keep the JIT from having to
 * fabricate or load GC_DIRTY_CARD to store into the card table,
 * biased base is within the mmap allocation at a point where it's low
 * byte is equal to GC_DIRTY_CARD. See dvmCardTableStartup for details.
