I think for any reasonable encouragement of !USE_BLOBS, we need
a more fine-grained distinction of blobs. For instance, microcode
updates are optional on some platforms with some CPU steppings.
So the boards don't actually "require" USE_BLOBS, but not adding
the updates is just stupid. And microcode is out of coreboot's
scope anyway, but covered by USE_BLOBS :-/

I would totally agree to hide all boards by default that require
a blob that is run inside coreboot. But making it harder to use
coreboot even on platform where the coreboot code is 100% open-
source (just the CPUs microcode is not) seems wrong.
