No, I mean that we read the value then allocate a temp value with 0 bit
excluded implicitly, so it is not a straight read, but whatever.

Bah, I managed to miss that we need to lookup for not yet fully initialized
timers as well, and indeed it makes no much difference which exactly field
to mangle. Thanks a huge for explanations, Thomas!
