almost, the one thing that this could have done would be to offer an 
option to bundle the firmware with the module. currently it offers the 
option to load the firmware at the same time as the module, not _quite_ 
the same thing.

there was also the issue that was raised about how to handle firmware 
during suspend/resume. I don't remember seeing a happy solution to that 
one.
