I'd like to see some mechanism added as well. Our CvP driver needs a way 
to load images to the FPGA over the PCIe bus.

It wasn't clear to me from the discussion on Alan's patchset[1] that the 
debugfs was acceptable to the mainline. I'd be happy to resurrect that 
patchset with the suggested changes.

Since debugfs isn't enabled for production, are there any alternatives?

Alan sent a RFC [2] for loading FIT images through the sysfs.

The RFC described a FIT image that included FPGA image specific 
information to be included with the image (for systems running without 
device tree like our PCIe bus FPGA CvP).

Unfortunately, I believe this has the same uphill battle that the Device 
Tree Overlay patches[3] have to getting accepted.
