The first idea that comes to my mind is: Implement a ROM server
"elf_rom", which stores the retrieved ELF binaries in dataspaces
allocated from its RAM session. Afterwards setup the routing in your
init config for all "children" of your "parent" to "elf_rom" like
follows
<route>
..
<service name="ROM"> <child name="elf_rom_server"/> </service>
..
</route>
This may need two special precautions. First, you may need a nested
init instance which is configured with the route above. Second, you
may need some exceptions from the rule above if elf_rom_server does
not provide ROMs for "parent" and its shared libraries (if used) like
<service name="ROM" label="parent"> <parent/> </service>
