mem: Fix DRAM controller to operate on its own address space

Typically, a memory controller is assigned an address range of the
form [start, end). This address range might be interleaved and
therefore only a non-continuous subset of the addresses in the address
range is handed by this controller.

Prior to this patch, the DRAM controller was unaware of the
interleaving and as a result the address range could affect the
mapping of addresses to DRAM ranks, rows and columns. This patch
changes the DRAM controller, to transform the input address to a
continuous range of the form [0, size). As a result the DRAM
controller always operates on a dense and continuous address range
regardlesss of the system configuration.
