For these blobs, there should at least be an interface to user-land. This
data does not belong to the kernel, and it is not under GPL. It's however
ok to have an interface for the kernel to reach outside, and load these
blobs from files.

This also makes it much easier for vendors and users to update these
files: simply copy it to the right location.
