You also missed the firmware_request_nowarn() call on the #else. I'll add it
and re-submit myself.

In future patches about firmware please also Cc Mimi Zohar <zohar@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>,
and Kees Cook <keescook@...omium.org>. You can also use the long list (modulo, not
the EFI list) that Hans used on his EFI patches. I realize its long but its just
to ensure enough folks get to review and eybeball the code.
