I'm not sure this is much of an improvement, since at the end of the
series, boards still have a &gpu { zap-shader {} } section, with the
inner one not being referred to through a label, which reduces
duplication in the single LoC used to assign memory-region, but
doesn't e.g. prevent typos in the zap-shader node name
