The mmio-interface device is not something we want to allow
users to create on the command line:
* it is intended as an implementation detail of the memory
subsystem, which gets created and deleted by that
subsystem on demand; it makes no sense to create it
by hand on the command line
* it uses a pointer property 'host_ptr' which can't be
set on the command line
Mark the device as not user_creatable to avoid confusion.
