hum, we'll need special case this.. because Memory_WR_BW_Chip will
unwind to Memory_WR_BW_Chip_[01] and Total_Memory_BW is not aware of
that.. what's the expected behaviour in here?

have Total_Memory_BW_[01] for each runtime arg?

I think this will need to come on top of this changes,
it's already too big

thanks,
