I feel the need to revamp the fillinbuf stuff.  The truth is that
accessing paged/blocked memory is quite board specific.  The Linux-MTD
drivers recognise this and made "map drivers" separate.  

This is becoming more criticle with the kexec/elf stuff and initrd
images where you have large items that don't fit into the 1Meg bios
window.

I am currently working with systems where I can select from multiple
initrd images and/or multiple root filesystems and multiple kernels.  I
can now (with the command line stuff) edit my kernel command lines.

In addition to a better fillinbuf, I'm tempted to add support for a
romfs for accessing various "binary blobs or elf images".  Romfs is
VERY simple and the tools for creating a romfs already exist.

Comments?

Cheers!
Ty
