Patch Set 2:

Another thought, if we want to get rid of this legacy, x86 location, but keep the id, how about adding a simple file to CBFS as standard from now on, and keeping the legacy id in the bootblock for a few releases until users adapted?

That's also my preferred option. (I would be fine with keeping the old .id in parallel for a bit longer too, but I don't know if Furquan had any specific pressure to get rid of it right now.)

No, I think we can keep it for a couple of releases and eventually drop the .id support.
