Anyway. Attached is a really stupid patch that tries to do the "direct
firmware load" as suggested by Ivan. It has not been tested very
extensively at all (but I did test that it loaded the brcmsmac
firmware images on my laptop so it has the *potential* to work).

Oh, and I stupidly put the new functions next to the builtin firmware
loading function, which means that the patch only works if you have
CONFIG_FW_LOADER enabled.

That's bogus, and the functions should be moved out of that #ifdef,
but I don't think it should hurt testing.
