What's actually in this region that wants the offset from the
base of it? Often "all the IO is in this window" designs are
really just "there are lots of different IO devices which
are at different places within this range". That is, is
there actually any behaviour needed for "in the IO range
but not actually a device" ?

You can do this sort of thing, but you need to define
the region priorities (using memory_region_add_subregion_overlap()
for at least one of them. See docs/devel/memory.txt and
in particular the section on overlapping regions.
