Nope. The only cases we have microcode like that in the kernel is downloaded firmware for devices. The same stuff you'd have been finding in the boot rom instead 12 months ago before the price squeezes reached ripped out any flash component and doing software download. Richard Stallman doesn't like that either, but since he currently runs an OS loaded by and using a binary only BIOS I don't have any direct sympathies right now - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
