The revamp of the GenericTimer was not taking into account:
* The name of the variable will be printed on the checkpoint to label the
data. It is not possible to use different variable names when
serializing/unserializing, and it is not possible to use the same
temporary variable to serialize/unserialize different values.
* the serializeSection is creating a new sub section in the
checkpoint. Doing the following:
void
GenericTimerFrame::serialize(CheckpointOut &cp) const
{
physTimer.serializeSection(cp, "phys_timer");
virtTimer.serializeSection(cp, "virt_timer");
SERIALIZE_SCALAR(accessBits);
}
will serialize the accessBits under the virt_timer subsection
rather than the parent generic_timer_frame.
