Actually the pseudo code I just demo'd on your RFC proposal shows how we
could support the hashes for firmware an optional first policy and if that
fails check the fw signature if present. So no driver changes would be
needed other than key'ing a respective hash for the firmware, which can
just be a macro driver addition, not an API call change.
