Depends on how the system is configured..  Often I see them packaged with the
firmware loader -- which is the proper arch, etc..

Ya, as long as we can skip -- or change it to a warning instead of an error.. I
think we're good.  Like I said, this is rare and unlikely to be an issue in
anything in oe-core, meta-oe or even the distributions based on oe-core.. but I
have seen it in customer production environments before.
