Hierarchical memory region API

The memory API separates the attributes of a memory region (its size, how
reads or writes are handled, dirty logging, and coalescing) from where it
is mapped and whether it is enabled.  This allows a device to configure
a memory region once, then hand it off to its parent bus to map it according
to the bus configuration.

Hierarchical registration also allows a device to compose a region out of
a number of sub-regions with different properties; for example some may be
RAM while others may be MMIO.
