Apparently the qlogic drivers don't have any firmware included in FC7,

firmware goes in the kernel package?
Peter says the support for Anaconda / mkinitrd to load the firmware
is already written, so we could do it either way.
If it fits these guidelines:

Yeah. I saw those. But the problem is that this might be needed in the
bootpath. We /probably/ don't want the kernel package depending on a
billion of these other packages for the moment - do we? Wouldn't it just
be easier to have the firmware in that package for now, since it used to
be in the kernel anyway? Eventually we need to fix this differently.
