firmware(9) is a subsystem to load binary data into the kernel via a
specially crafted module. There are several handrolled sollutions to this problem in the tree already which will be replaced with this. They include iwi(4), ipw(4), ispfw(4) and digi(4). No objection from: arch MFC after: 2 weeks X-MFC after: some drivers have been converted
