I'm not sure about the consequences (hotplugging feature, etc.) when 
changing it to romfile as in other PCI devices. Also the patch is more 
generic and supports static and dynamic devices (hotplugable and possible 
future devices). Patch supports without hotplugging both options to 
disable the romfile:
,romfile=
,romfile=disabled

And the patch has already been tested ...

Therefore I suggest to commit it and maybe make a refactoring without 
hotplugging later on.

Ciao,
Gerhard
