I haven't tested it yet, but I think this should also be doable without
the build_romfs tool? Since QEMU does not care about the header that
this tool creates, it should not matter whether there is some valid data
in the first 256 or simply zeros. So simply linking with
"-Wl,--oformat,binary -Ttext=0x100" or so should do the job, also?
