What's wrong with saying that the only way to interrupt firmware
loading is to kill the process? So ctrl-c will no longer interrupt
it, but I do not think that ease of aborting firmware update is
primary goal here. I consider simple is good here.
Agreed 100%. The user process did not ask for firmware load, it asked
for an I/O operation. Semantically it should appear as if someone else
did the firmware load and it just had to wait for it to happen.
