This is no longer the firmware location because /usr is not guaranteed
to be mounted early in bootup, and therefore you're not guaranteed to
have firmware for your network card, for example, before you've mounted
your networked /usr share.  Which is a problem.  Make sure everything is
in /lib/firmware, which is the correct location.
