---------------------------
config: Expose the DRAM ranks as a command-line option

This patch gives the user direct influence over the number of DRAM
ranks to make it easier to tune the memory density without affecting
the bandwidth (previously the only means of scaling the device count
was through the number of channels).

The patch also adds some basic sanity checks to ensure that the number
of ranks is a power of two (since we rely on bit slices in the address
decoding).
