yes.  it melted my brain a bit that granularity is specified in number of
bits, not number of subdivisions.

and that nmigen Memory likewise has this convention.

we can't go 128 bit wide with this code without modifying it because
it directly ties SRAM width to Wishbone width.

and Wishbone is not permitted to be 128 bit (which is a pain, for us).

we could however do odd-even at bit 3 of the address, and have *pairs*
of 64 bit Wishbone-accessible SRAMs.

but, for an internal SRAM (for boot purposes and test purposes) i don't
think we need that level of high performance access (128 bit wide data)
