The memory map simply describes what is the next memory boundary 
assigned (or void in this case), not the actual size of the IP user 
interface.
So we took the opportunity to avoid mapping unused memory.

The underlying memory mapping certainly does what is best, so I would 
cling to being the closest to last register described. So your 0x300 
value looks very good to me.
