Made a derived class FunctionalPacket to enable partial functional reads to not 
induce more overhead in the Packet class as requested by Steve, Nate and Ali.  
Modified blobHelper() in src/mem/port.cc to use FunctionalPacket instead of 
Packet.  Over areas could use functional packets 
(src/arch/x86/pagetable_walker.cc and src/cpu/testers/memtest/memtest.cc) but 
have left them alone because they do not really need to be fixed.  Tested by 
compiling and running using the CheckerCPU that exercises this code path 
heavily.  No bugs found.
