Unfortunately, as you've discovered, there's not much documentation
related to the simulator(s)...

looking at the changelogs:

        * sim-utils.c (sim_do_commandf): New function, printf version of
        sim_do_command.

That difference seems borne out by their usage.

memory region creates a region of memory to be used by the simulator.

memory alias creates a region in the address space that aliases an
existing region of memory.

As you can see from some of the code already there, this is used to
mock-up kseg1.  (This method is, IMO, not ideal.)
