rtl8139.rom should work, though; you're allowed to build ROMs by
matching on the NIC type field (the third parameter to PCI_ROM), and
"rtl8139" is unique in this context. make bin/rtl8139.rom works for me
on up-to-date master.

This will indeed work around the problem, and should be fine if you
don't need any ROM images for Xen. I'd kind of like to figure out
what's going on here, though.
