It's not quite that easy.  

generic_load() is used by a many more targets than just the remote
protocol.  Perhaps a target_verify_memory() function in the target
vector that can use whatever verification method (crc, checksums,
etc.) that may be available for a target before falling back to 
memory read & compare..
