Been playing with how I'd make the kernel package deal with the

I suspect that (for now) we should make the kernel binary packages
depend on kernel-firmware?
Should the package own the /lib/firmware/ directory?
Ideally we'll want kernel-firmware to be a .noarch.rpm, but we can't get
that until we start to build it from a separate srpm.
Other comments?
We actually *can* make it noarch without much effort -- remember, the kernel
is a special beast that actually does get a noarch build pass done on it for
kernel-docs. No reason kernel-firmware couldn't be spit out from the same
build run, so far as I know.
