I also don't get why one can't put them in a module wrapper in some OTHER dir as
__init__ fwFOO = something_huge_made_from_a_string ; EXPORT_SYMBOL(fwFOO);
and have the real driver module just reference fwFOO in its init sequence. Modprobe can deal with where to look for it. No kernel source need be tainted.
