We actually already have aliasing: is_write flag is used for this

Yes, but read/write address aliasing is not the same thing is
multi-match data aliasing. Besides, your proposal also breaks some of
the natural relationship models (e.g. all the aliased iosignal_items
always belong to the same underlying device. io_bus entries have an
arbitrary topology).

It's all one big hack, we want to get the correct function called with as little fuss as possible.
