fw_cfg interfaces are somewhat difficult to rationalize about for 
compatibility.

0.13.0 is tagged already so it's too late to pull it in there.  If we 
say we don't care about compatibility at the fw_cfg level, then it 
doesn't matter if we pull it into stable-0.13.  If we do care, then this 
is an ABI breaker.

I don't know that the answer is obvious to me.
