Because what you end up using is a struct resource to represent the cfg space and
the conversion between ranges and resources breaks down for CFG space (we don't
have a flag in the resource flags to say this is CFG resource). Specifying it
as a *reg* property makes it a MEM resource and no special casing is needed.
