I like the proposal.

I was about to suggest (while we are touching it) to split out the other
firmware to a separate set, but when I looked it is just 31 MB (and
that already includes some firmware that will move to the gpu set) on 
non-x86, which even with a small SD card as root on some evbarm SoC
is not that bad.
