What about catching it in memory_region_dispatch_write:

    if (mr->ops->write) {
        return access_with_adjusted_size(addr, &data, size,
                                         mr->ops->impl.min_access_size,
                                         mr->ops->impl.max_access_size,
                                         memory_region_write_accessor, mr,
                                         attrs);
    } else if (mr->ops->write_with_attrs) {
        return
            access_with_adjusted_size(addr, &data, size,
                                      mr->ops->impl.min_access_size,
                                      mr->ops->impl.max_access_size,
                                      memory_region_write_with_attrs_accessor,
                                      mr, attrs);
    } else {
        qemu_log_mask(LOG_UNIMP|LOG_GUEST_ERROR, "%s: %s un-handled write\n",
                      __func__, mr->name);
    }
