I've tested this with the aic94xx driver using the new MODULE_FIRMWARE() tag. Initramfs should be much easier because it already includes most of the boot time loading; all it has to do is the piece identifying the firmware for the selected modules.

Notice that mkinitrd-tools is dead, and will probably be removed from etch.
request_firmware() is dead also. YMMV, but three years, and there are still big chunks of binary in kernel. And please don't add new useless info _in_ it. Nobody cares. While this implementation exists, it wasn't well designed and hard to use. As with in-kernel bootsplash and i18n, everything maybe done in userspace, only with little help from the kernel: <http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/435955>.
