I was originally looking at a Gentoo issue with firmware and thought 
this was the issue, but it turned out to be Gentoo sillyness so this 
commit may have been premature, aye.

When I originally did the hotplug firmware loading stuff I wanted to 
ensure that it was installed. Now that I have done more research on 
distributions and where they tend to put their directories I would agree 
with your original commit. I will fix it later today when I'm back in my 
office.
