For playing games, there are three options:

- put roms in 4GB-2MB (or whatever we decide the flash size is) and have the BIOS copy them

Existing fwcfg is the least amount of work and probably satisfactory for isapc. fwcfg+dma is IMO going off a tangent. High memory flash is the most hardware-like solution, pretty easy from a qemu point of view but requires more work.

The only trouble I see is that high memory isn't always available. If it's a 32-bit PC and you've exhausted RAM space, then you're only left with the PCI hole and it's not clear to me if you can really pull out 100mb of space there as an option ROM without breaking something.
