After spending 1 day now trying to backport this patch I'm wondering if the
effort is worth it. Since the RH guys have nothing to do except rewrite code,
even a simple commit like de2a338dce is difficult to backport. I've already
added commits 29bbd927 and f5dcd8b9 to ease the pain, but still failing lots of
unit tests. If we really want this fixed up right, we'd probably need all the
commits touching the firmware handling code

Or just wait for all this stuff in SP5. Antoine, would you like me to continue
with this and backport all these firmware handling improvements to SP4?
