Concentrating this discussion on a very big misunderstanding first.

This is a completely wrong assumption! Take a look at what games like 
Forza Horizzon are doing.

Basically that game allocates a very big sparse area and fills it with 
pages from BOs while shaders are accessing it. And yes, as far as I know 
this is completely valid behavior.

So you need to be able to handle this case anyway and the approach with 
the regions won't help you at all preventing that.
