The hardware features required for hardware-assisted GC are actually pretty simple. See https://www.usenix.org/legacy/events/vee05/full_papers/p46-c... for a description. Other features like hardware-assisted write barriers (simple) and transactional memory (much more complex) can be used to increase performance.
