The firmware-tools project (http://linux.dell.com/firmware-tools) gets
around this by passing a set of runtime-discovered requirements to
yum/up2date.

# yum install $(inventory_firmware -b)
# apply_updates

where the program inventory_firmware spits out a list of PCI devices
that are present in the system in RPM "Requires" format, like so:

# inventory_firmware -b
