This isn't correct -- create_unimplemented_device() is
just a utility function; you can create, configure, initialize
and map it "by hand" if you want.

This is true, though, as with any sysbus device that has
a memory region.

I'm obviously missing context, because in master it doesn't
have code to set the user_creatable flag in the first place.
Wouldn't it be better to just not add that, rather than
add it and then delete it?
