I would really suggest stepping back and rethinking what you are doing. The saved instance state is intended for the relatively small amount of data representing the current UI state. You shouldn't be in a situation where you have 100 different *classes* of stuff being put in to it. If you have a significant amount of data, this is more likely best handled as persistent data that you save instead of trying to keep it in onSaveInstanceState().
