So far we don't have a real running-from-ROM option for the C code as we started copying the code segment along with the data segment to RAM, a while ago, when I reduced the skew between Ollies boot from DOC code and the rest of LinuxBIOS. I have some trouble seeing where running-from-ROM is an issue when it only happens at boot time. But except for the problem of maintaining very divergent code paths I have nothing against it.
