Changeset 9463:5404b8587e1b
---------------------------
x86: Changes to decoder, partly rolls back 9376
The changes made by the changeset 9376 were not quite correct. The patch created
changes to the code which resulted in decoder not getting initialized correctly
when the state was restored from a checkpoint.

Since a lot many changes have taken place since, it was not so straight forward
to do away with the error. The decoder's state is being added to the checkpoint
so that the decoder can read the state correctly. Changes have been made to the
util/cpt_upgrader.py script to fix existing checkpoints. I do not expect any
architecture other than x86 to have the bug stated above.
