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.
