I don't quite follow how the firmware change is supposed to work... The 
firmware is currently supposed to be a noarch package, and it gets built in 
the same pass as the kernel-docs sub-package, so it *shouldn't* be built in 
the same pass as the kernel. Is this flag to simply override that and build 
the firmware as an arch-specific package for simplified one-off builds?

You bring up a pretty good point here Jarod, what happens with firmware
for arch-specific drivers? The Makefile rules will have to be written in
such a way that it gets built into the package despite the CONFIG_*
symbol being unset on the build arch.

That's what it does. It includes all firmware, even for drivers that don't get
built. Look in firmware/Makefile and you'll see it builds lists
named fw-shipped-y, fw-shipped-m and fw-shipped- then just merges them to
create fw-shipped-all  which it uses to build/install the firmware.

fwiw this is hitting the BUG_ON in drm_open.

mutex_lock(dev-struct_mutex);
BUG_ON((dev-dev_mapping != NULL) 
   (dev-dev_mapping != inode-i_mapping));
if (dev-dev_mapping == NULL)
dev-dev_mapping = inode-i_mapping;
mutex_unlock(dev-struct_mutex);

Does this cover the case of firmware declared in Makefiles in subdirs
that are obj-$(CONFIG_i) += subdir/?

If so, cool, but I can't be arsed to check.

It only does its thing for stuff in firmware/

Every firmware file needs to be moved there; some are not and they
don't get into the package.

If you push wireless fixes to -stable Fedora would then get them for free.
I don't see many wireless patches in there generally, though the ath5k
memory corruption fix just went in.

And new drivers would be great. Lots of people seem to want ath9k, for
example.

John has been forwarding me fixes, I just haven't gotten around to
