/**
 * A simple port for interfacing objects that basically have only
 * functional memory behavior (e.g. I/O devices) to the memory system.
 * Both timing and functional accesses are implemented in terms of
 * atomic accesses.  A derived port class thus only needs to provide
 * recvAtomic() to support all memory access modes.
 *
 * The tricky part is handling recvTiming(), where the response must
 * be scheduled separately via a later call to sendTiming().  This
 * feature is handled by scheduling an internal event that calls
 * sendTiming() after a delay, and optionally rescheduling the
 * response if it is nacked.
