Potentially, I will note that there seems to be a QEMU issue, that I
have not had time to dig into, that is preventing region creation
compared to other environments, maybe this is it...

...but I am certain that the drvier implementation is not accounting for
the freedom to specify any granularity when the CFMWS interleave is x1.
Will craft an incremental fix.
