I would be keen to see this loader work with the ezusb_load_0-3.tar.gz module
that Adam Richter put together (ftp://ftp.yggdrasil.com/private/adam/ezusb/).
Ideally, the loader would be generalized to handle a range of different
formats (automatically, if possible). I had planned to do some work in this
area (sdcc toolchain, and support libs for EZUSB FX2), but I also have an
original anchorchips EZUSB board to do some testing (and a port of the ezload
code from the BSD community).

I still don't support removing the various firmware codes from the kernel
without better reasons that have been presented to date, but I do support
being _able_ to do it from user speace.
