There is another way to do this.  If you look at the patches I proposed to
wrap keys in PE binaries, you'll find that that can handle PKCS#7 format
messages as that's what's in the sort of signed PE binary we're dealing with.

You could use this to put the firmware inside a signed-data PKCS#7 message.
