I guess technically you could make a gigantic C struct definition describing your microcontroller's entire memory map

it might not be a _good_ idea… …but that doesn't mean it's not a thing you could do
I've seen this done for independent hardware blocks/peripherals, possibly in the Linux kernel. An entire μC would be kind of ridiculous for anything larger than a PIC16-size thing though. Memory layouts are sparse, you'd need padding everywhere.
