^^^^
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;
