What I am concerned about is having many pieces of code that do
almost the same thing. [I.e. load a file into memory] We already
have this code for the boot blocks, each architecture gets its own
copy... We should consolidate that. I've done some work on it on
the i386 stand/lib/loadfile.c, and we should clean it up a bit more
and reuse it.
