But that leaves the uncompressed firmware blobs in .data that ends up
in unswappable kernel memory.

Hi Jeff,
This patch modifies gzip unpacking code in bnx2 driver so that
it does not depend on bnx2 internals. I will move this code
out of the driver and into zlib in follow-on patch.
It can be useful in other drivers which need to store firmwares
or any other relatively big binary blobs -

According to an earlier thread, dgrs was never really maintained,
written for hardware that was never really distributed widely, and very
likely hasn't had users in years... if ever.
If that picture is accurate (it's a story I was told), then I am
definitely queueing up a deletion patch.
