Region 0:
    4 KiB-pages 0xf1011000-0xf101ffff are aliased to 0xf1010000-0xf1010fff,
    but we need the first 4 KiB only.

Region 1:
    4 KiB-pages 0xf1021000-0xf102ffff are aliased to 0xf1020000-0xf1020fff,
    4 KiB-pages 0xf1030000-0xf103ffff are all zeroes, probably due to
    non-secure mode?

Region 2:
    4 KiB-pages 0xf1041000-0xf104ffff are aliased to 0xf1040000-0xf1040fff,
    4 KiB-pages 0xf1050000-0xf105ffff are all zeroes, probably due to
    non-secure mode?

Region 3:
    4 KiB-pages 0xf1061000-0xf106ffff are aliased to 0xf1060000-0xf1060fff,
    4 KiB-pages 0xf1070000-0xf107ffff are all zeroes, probably due to
    non-secure mode?

Region 2 already had a 128 KiB size before, which allowed to use 8 KiB at
0xf104f000.

An 8 KiB size for regions 1 and 3 indeed didn't make much sense, as this
covered two identical (aliased) 4 KiB pages, instead of two different pages
at offset 0xf000.
