So, in summary to Mark, if "always reads as zero" is sufficient
for your purposes, I'll accept this as a patch which implements
that (if you fix the other issues and add a comment that it
ought to be the base address of the private peripheral region).
We can implement it properly when we have enough object model
infrastructure to do so.
