We already have the freebsd firmware interface in kern/subr_firmware.c (ours is in kern/kern_firmware.c). You can definitely have the freebsd api use our api internally to access files in whatever userspace dir, but I think we should only have one firmware loading api. So if you want to give that a shot, please just integrate the functionality in subr_firmware.c and kill the old api. Aggelos
