Upon second thought... If you already have the 256 KiB bounce buffer
for ps3flash,
you may want to share bounce buffers between ps3disk, ps3flash, and ps3rom.

Heck, you could even share it with the p3fb frame buffer, and only
allow ps3flash
access when using a video mode that doesn't need all frame buffer memory.
Wouldn't work for systems without ps3fb, though.

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
