Quoting design rationale by dcoutts: The event indicates that we're doing a stop-the-world GC and all other HECs should be between their GC_START and GC_END events at that moment. We don't want to use GC_STATS_GHC for that, because GC_STATS_GHC is for extra GHC-specific info, not something we have to rely on to be able to match the GC pauses across HECs to a particular global GC.
