I guess it would be 'Blob'.

There are enough space at the tail of field declaration lines, where the
comments can be put:

typedef struct RomLoaderNotifyData {
     hwaddr  addr;   /* Address of the blob in guest memory */
     size_t  len;    /* Length of the blob */
     uint8_t *data;  /* Blob data */
} RomLoaderNotifyData;
