I don't know the answer to your question, but I suspect that keeping
track of the effective size of the object (including native bits) may be
impossible. Maybe there's some other heuristic we can use, like
finalize all objects with a gnu.gcj.RawData field, or all objects which
implement a magic empty interface.
