Please don't store any blobs in the v3 tree directly.
That's where buildrom comes into play. Buildrom can always wget/curl
these blobs from http://coreboot.org. Then it stores them in the LAR
below the "blob/" directory.
If you are absolutely desparate to include the VSA in a non-buildrom
build of v3, you still can download the VSA manually.

Yes, but we need a way to specify the entry point of the VSA blob for
that to work reliably.

Why should that be a problem?
