// For this reason there is an option to spawn a helper thread, the
// ReferencePendingListLockerThread, during initialization. If a helper
// thread is spawned all lock operations from non-Java threads will be
// delegated to the helper thread. The helper thread is typically needed
// by concurrent GCs.
