Kernel Firmware Support

[Michael D. Setzer II]

Looking for method to best support users firmware needs within 
the kernel. 

Have a disk-image project that users kernel.org kernels, and have 
had users that require firmware that is not included in the 
kernel.org source. I've been able to find it in linux-firmware.git and 
then manually adding it to the kernel.org firmware directory and 
then modifying the Makefile.

Had seen something that was suppose to be working on getting 
firmware out of the kernel, but that process seems to have been 
dormant for some time.
