mem: Make the buses multi layered

This patch makes the buses multi layered, and effectively creates a
crossbar structure with distributed contention ports at the
destination ports. Before this patch, a bus could have a single
request, response and snoop response in flight at any time, and with
these changes there can be as many requests as connected slaves (bus
master ports), and as many responses as connected masters (bus slave
ports).

Together with address interleaving, this patch enables us to create
high-throughput memory interconnects, e.g. 50+ GByte/s.
