Sure, go ahead.  Didn't submit the patch because I wasn't sure it is
worth it, especially the compat stuff, do it on new machine types only
etc.

But if we now have to change the order _anyway_ for new machine types it
is a good opportunity to move to a sorted order at the same time, so we
will not have that problem (init order changes reorders fw_cfg file
directory) again.

cheers,
