Right, but such an approach won't work for storage drivers like isp(4).
Couldn't you just generalize the approach used by ispfw(4)? It uses the kld
module approach to get the firmware into kernel memory.

For something like a network driver, preloading the firmware into a kld is
a waste of memory. The exception would be if you were to try netbooting
from a iwi card, but that seems unlikely to be a common problem.
Until someone does come up with the official "FreeBSD" way to load
firmware, let's stop kibitzing about this commit and let Damien get back
to work.
