Apparently the qlogic drivers don't have any firmware included in FC7,
so nobody can actually use a qlogic adapter. Should we be patching the
kernel like in FC6 or do we need a separate package? Or maybe the
firmware goes in the kernel package?

I personally prefer for it to go into an external package that we ask Andrew Vasquez at Qlogic to maintain post-merge, but for now I think it belongs in the kernel package proper. Dave?

Peter says the support for Anaconda / mkinitrd to load the firmware
is already written, so we could do it either way.

Yeah. I've been a complete ass and misunderstood how some of the firmware loading implementation works - just went and looked at this code too, can see it's all already in there actually (in nash).
