A good place to do this would be to give usbd the capability to start a
user space firmware loader (potentially a different one for each download
protocol) with a specified bus/device number and firmware file whenever it
detects the attachment of specific vid/pid pairs before it either loads
the kernel module or starts the user space device driver required to
handle that particular device. There are a lot of ezusb based devices
being developed at the moment, and it would be a good idea to build a nice
generic solution to the firmware/driver loader problem now rather than
each device ending up having it's own loader.
