*
* When an internal heap is enabled this region starts at an offset equal to
* the size of the internal heap.
+ *
+ * The QEMU bootloader image is slightly different than the chip's one.
+ * The ROM on PRO and APP uses different regions for static data. In QEMU,
+ * however, we load only one ROM binary, taken from the PRO CPU, and it is
+ * used by both CPUs. So, in QEMU, if we allocate this part early, it will
+ * be clobbered once the APP CPU starts.
+ * We can delay the allocation to when everything has started through the
+ * board_late_initiliaze hook, as is done for the APP data, however this
+ * should be fixed from QEMU side. The following macros, then, just skip
+ * PRO CPU's data when a QEMU image generation is enabled with SMP.

Review comment:
i feel it's awkward to change the behavior with the output binary/image
options. but it might be just me.
