In L4Re every application has its own filesystem and others are mounting
therein. The most prominent is the rom/ filesystem which contains all
the loaded modules and is available to all application read-only.
So typically when an application needs files they can be loaded as a
modules and are then available under rom/. For using it it's as simple
as open("rom/file.xyz", O_RDONLY), read, mmap, etc.
