This number is a bit too specific. :)

The main issue here is that we want to have both a ROM and a
non-executable pflash device.

I think in this case (which should be gated by
machine_require_guest_memfd(MACHINE(pcms)), just like in earlier
patches), we need to:

1) give an error if pflash_blk[1] is specified, i.e. support only one
flash device

2) possibly, give a warning if -bios is _not_ specified.

3) map pflash_blk[0] below the BIOS ROM and expect it to be just the variables

The need to use -bios for code and pflash0 (if desired) for variables
also needs to be documented of course.

Some parts of this patch can be salvaged, others are not needed
anymore... I'll let you figure it out. :)
