Support ROM blobs not mapped into guest memory:
same as ROM files really but use caller's buffer.
Support invoking callback on access and
return memory pointer making it easier
for caller to update memory if necessary.

ROM files that are put in FW CFG are copied to guest ram, by BIOS, but
they are not backed by RAM so they don't get migrated.
Each time we change two bytes in such a ROM this breaks cross-version
migration: since we can migrate after BIOS has read the first byte but
before it has read the second one, getting an inconsistent state.
Future-proof this by creating, for each such ROM,
an MR serving as the backing store.
This MR is never mapped into guest memory, but it's registered
as RAM so it's migrated with the guest.
Naturally, this only helps for -M 1.7 and up, older machine types
will still have the cross-version migration bug.
Luckily the race window for the problem to trigger is very small,
which is also likely why we didn't notice the cross-version
migration bug in testing yet.

Introduce 'load_ramdisk()' which can load "normal" ramdisks and ramdisks
with a u-boot header.
To enable this and leverage synergies 'load_uimage()' is refactored to
accomodate this additional use case.

Currently some places use pointer-to-void even though they mean
pointer-to-FWCfgState. Clean them up.

Many of these should be cleaned up with proper qdev-/QOM-ification.
Right now there are many catch-all headers in include/hw/ARCH depending
on cpu.h, and this makes it necessary to compile these files per-target.
However, fixing this does not belong in these patches.
