I'll try re-cloning the tree and re-applying the TM patches I have to see if it is just my older version of M5 in a few hours. Not looking forward to the merge I'll have to do....

There is now a requirement to drain the cpus/caches before you checkpoint for the timing mode stuff. As for the atomic mode, that's odd. Can you give me enough detail to reproduce this myself? I'd most prefer something against the head of the tree. There might have been problems with the tree. I personally don't recall.
