The reason is that we enable mmtk/is_mmtk_object for all the builds. If the feature mmtk/is_mmtk_object is not enabled, VO bit is not used in MMTk and MMTk will not assert VO bit. We can disable the feature mmtk/is_mmtk_object for a non-moving build, and we will not need VO bit here. But I don't know if that is worth doing.

Did you measure the performance penalty of having the VO bit? If people don't care about fragmentation or if we want to do an apples to apples comparison with stock (both non-moving) I suppose we might want to disable the VO bit depending on whether it's too expensive to maintain it.

I didn't measure it with dev. You posted the results for v1.9.2 before: mmtk/mmtk-julia#158 (comment)
Backporting #63 to
dev.
