Updates mostly good but still a storestore issue to resolve.

Thanks,

My bad: no apostrophe in JavaThreads

Can't help but think the ppc/aarch64 folk have it right and that 
set_thread_state should always (?) have release semantics - and would then be 
renamed release_set_thread_state(). Also avoids a double barrier on 
ppc/aarch64. Followup RFE?
But note that we need the storestore after all the make_walkable's that are 
followed by set_thread_state.
