+Subject: [PATCH 1/2] romfile: implement a generic loader
+
+romfile_loadfile_g:
+Based on romfile_loadfile but more flexible. User has to supply pointer
+to a malloc function and the number of trailing padding bytes. Thus, any
+memory region may be used.
+
+romfile_loadfile:
+It is now a wrapper around romfile_loadfile_g. Functionality is the same.
