Currently the `Io` trait exposes a bunch of untyped IO accesses, but if the
`Io` region itself is typed, then it might be weird to have
let io: Mmio<u32> = /* ... */;
io.read8(1);
while not unsound, it is surely strange. Thus, restrict the untyped methods
and also the register macro to `Region` type only.
Implement it by adding a generic type to `IoLoc` indicating allowed base
types. This also paves the way to add typed register blocks in the future;
for example, we could use this mechanism to block driver A's `register!()`
generated macro from being used on driver B's MMIO. The same mechanism
could be used for relative IO registers. These are future opportunities,
and for now restrict everything to require `IoLoc<Region<SIZE>, _>`.
