(3) There is a kernel firmware loading facility in
sys/kern/kern_firmware.c. Again, the file cannot be loaded at
attach time but this way you could have an ioctl that just passes
the filename to the driver as part of the RC boot sequence
and the

at attach time.

We will always need to allocate DMA resources for the firmware loading.
