Yes, we've been tossing ideas like this around before.  The addresses
obviously have to be at other offsets (as current AVRs have up to 256
KiB of ROM already), but something like that is imaginable.  From a C
point of view, it would be some kind of macro to adjust the fuses.

I think the PICs use something similar, it's called configuration word
there.  The actual ROM address varies from device to device, but the
assembly language API remains the same.
