What does "a consistent offset per range" mean?  You aren't actually 
changing the caller's ranges.

They all use the same handler, so you need to split e.g. 
sh7750_io_memory into six MemoryRegionsOps. Or use tricks with aliases - 
have one giant 4G region with one handler, and map six 4k aliases into 
the system address space.
