The sysdata API's main goal rather is to provide a flexible API first,
compartamentalizing the usermode helper was secondary. But now it seems
I may just also add devm support too to help simplify code further.

I missed the point that you plan to add usermode helper support to
the sysdata API.

I had no such plans, when I have asked folks so far about "hey are you
really in need for it, OK what for? " and "what extended uses do you
envision?" so I far I have not gotten any replies at all. So -- instead
sysdata currently ignores it.

So you argue for the remoteproc use case with 100+ MB firmware that if 
there is a way to load after pivot_root() (or other additional firmware 
partition shows up) then there is no need at all for usermode helper?
