Thanks. I thought I had seen something like that but apparently grep'ed
for the wrong keywords.

Can anyone enlighten me why rom_ptr()+lduw_p() works at this point in
time and lduw_phys() doesn't but later does? The MemoryRegion is
initialized as a ram area. Is this a legacy issue (pre-Memory API)?
