Yeah, but that's just the start. We'd need to convert other drivers to
use the firwmare loader too instead of having their own private blobs.
And while we're doing that we _are_ going to get people complaining that
we force them to use an initrd where they didn't need to before. Hence
the suggestion to make the firmware loader capable of having a built-in
set of blobs.
