I find it odd that there is apparently no central way to track which
firmwares are being loaded without a debugging kernel.

The relevant messages in linux/drivers/base/firmware_loader/main.c are
all dev_dbg(), which as I understand does nothing on a non-debug kernel.
Even the message printed when the firmware file is missing is of that
type.

I guess I could turn on the userspace helper, set it to some script that
just logs every request and fails, and then remove the whole
/lib/firmware tree, but that is a _really_ round-about way.
