Oh, and for the record, I like Andy's proposal as well as dumping this
into a kernel module "blob" with the exception that this now would take
up unswapable memory, which isn't the nicest and is one big reason we
removed the in-kernel-memory firmware blobs many years ago.
It might not be totally crazy to back it by tmpfs.
Ah, yeah, tricky, but yes, I'd be fine with that.

Micro-kernel here we come!  :)
