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.

interesting. how do you propose to do it?
Something like:
- create /umh_module_tempxxx dir
- mount tmpfs there
- copy elf into it and exec it?
