Description
serialize.cpp currently uses objArrayOopDesc::base_offset_in_bytes(T_BYTE), which seems to be wrong.  Since objArrayOopDesc can only store oops, the only valid type is T_OBJECT.

SUGGESTED FIX Add objArrayOopDesc::base_offset_in_bytes(), which calls arrayOopDesc::base_offset_in_bytes(T_OBJECT), as similarily done with base().
