We have a meg or two of firmware images in the i386 GENERIC kernel, which is insane. I was thinking of adding a function that would use kmem_alloc+zlib to decompress images, and another to optionally free the decompressed image. It would probably also be good to add a simple program under dev/microcode to take a blob and spit out a compressed array in a C file. Thoughts? Thanks, Andrew |
