I don't know what fxload does exactly, but couldn't there be a simple usb driver that takes care of fxloading: it would attach itself to any usb device that matches the ids for a device known to need fxloading; it would then get the firmware using the firmware loading infrastructure (the firmware file name would need to be calculated from the device ids somehow), and upload it to the device. At that point the device transmogrifies itself into a device with different ids, the real driver attaches itself and away you go. Laurent wouldn't need to add stuff to his driver, because this would be a separate (and universal) driver.
