I can only see it being about separation, pure and simple.
Separation - of firmware that can be paged from code that cannot.
It can't be paged from the drivers we're talking about,
no matter how hard you try.

Every chip reset needs the firmware around so it can be
reloaded into the card.

This applies to tg3, bnx2, bnx2x, etc. etc. etc.
