  Sure. ROOT_FLASH_SIZE is the parameter being checked. And I hope
layman's using of "ROM" and "Flash" as synonyms won't confuse real pro's.
In particular, I hope that if a vendor with mask-ROM based design will
review OE as their software integration solution, the fact that the
parameter is called "ROOT_FLASH_SIZE", won't make them think they
can't be served by OE ;-).
