PS2, Line 10: This is done to accommodate metadata
            : hash anchor in bootblock so that the anchor can be updated when files
            : are added to CBFS during build time. Pass option to indicate that PSP
            : BIOS binary is uncompressed under such scenarios.

using an uncompressed bootblock will increase boot times, so this wouldn't be a good design choice; especially since Google usually pushes quite a bit towards improving boot times. did you measure how much of a slowdown this will cause?
