MEM: Move all read/write blob functions from Port to PortProxy This patch moves the readBlob/writeBlob/memsetBlob from the Port class to the PortProxy class, thus making a clear separation of the basic port functionality (recv/send functional/atomic/timing), and the higher-level functional accessors available on the port proxies. There are only a few places in the code base where the blob functions were used on ports, and they are all for peeking into the memory system without making a normal memory access (in the memtest, and the malta and tsunami pchip). The memtest also exemplifies how easy it is to create a non-translating proxy if desired. The malta and tsunami pchip used a slave port to perform a functional read, and this is now changed to rely on the physProxy of the system (to which they already have a pointer).
util/regress all passing (disregarding t1000 and eio)
