mem: Rename the ASI_BITS flag field in Request

ASI_BITS in the Request object were originally used to store a memory
request's ASI on SPARC. This is not the case any more since other ISAs
use the ASI bits to store architecture-dependent information. This
changeset renames the ASI_BITS to ARCH_BITS which better describes
their use. Additionally, the getAsi() accessor is renamed to
getArchFlags().
