Now that devel kernels rpms require the kernel-firmware rpm, it makes
sense to me that one should be able to build both of them at the same
time. So this patch adds the "--with firmware" build option
which will allow kernel-firmware rpms to built with kernel rpms.
This patch also adds the "--without vdso_install" build option
which stop the VDSO binaries from being installed. This cuts
down the overall build time especially when you build over NFS
like I do..

With one small change we can still support --without firmware. That way
the default behavior can be overridden in either case. See below...
Sure.. that works... Is there an ETA for these two changes?
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.
