Finally, Verilator will support custom parameters through hierarchical blocks. Waiting for the next stable release, this is a temporary fix not to crash the 16-lane verilation on GitHub CI servers.
The hierarchical compilation feature was once removed because of a custom parameter type being passed by Ara to the Lane modules. Verilator did not like this, so we removed hierarchical verilation. However, the github CI cannot compile the 16-lane design anymore without running out of memory.
