Is there any compelling reason to make the unit numbers user
configurable. Are they guest ABI sensitive for example ?

unit=0 goes just up to the 4G limit (e.g. if it's 256k it occupies the 256K from fffc0000 to ffffffff). unit=1 goes just below that. So yes they affect the guest ABI.

However, unit=0 contains the reset vector, so the <loader> must be unit=0 and <nvram> must be unit=1. Exchanging them makes little sense.
