Inform users that firmware loading is now done kernelside since version 3.7 and the userspace loader has been deleted. As in, you need to upgrade your kernel to 3.7 or higher if you need anykind of firmwares, or alternatively stick to 208 or 216 which will be kept in tree for longer period than normal for backwards compability.

+Title: Upgrade to udev >= 217 or eudev >= 2.1
+Author: Samuli Suominen <ssuominen@gentoo.org>

+Display-If-Installed: <sys-fs/eudev-2.1
+
+sys-fs/udev-217 and sys-fs/eudev-2.1 no longer provide a userspace
+firmware loader. If you require firmware loading support, you must use
+kernel 3.7 or greater with CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=n. No action is
+required if none of your kernel modules need firmware. See [1] for more
+information on the upgrade.
