    SubjectRFC: install firmware in a kernel-dependent directory
    Currently, make firmware_install puts all firmware blobs in
    /lib/firmware. If you have several kernel versions installed, they will
    overwrite each other's files, which may lead to problems if the blobs
    eventually change. I think it would be better to use a separate
    directory for every kernel version, like /lib/firmware/$(uname -r) or
    /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/firmware (the latter is my favorite).

    In either case, only a minimal modification in /lib/udev/firmware.sh is
    required to make it look in the new directory first.
