You should be able to just call request_firmware and have it download
your image whenever you need it. It doesn't have to be firmware,
request_firmware will download anything.

Agreed, request_firmware() would be a really nice way to simplify the interface.
It might be more practical to use the /sys/class/tty/tty* object instead of
the /sys/class/graphics/fb* one, but I don't know enough about the console
subsystem to tell for sure.
