is it acceptable (although not nice) to simply fix it this way, by disabling irqs while it loads the firmware?
I would say to just disable IRQs while loading firmware. Almost every server I maintain has some vendor driver which generates a "many lost ticks!" message on load. As long as it's only done at module load time it should be fine. Of course the best solution is to just get the driver into mainline.
