Marc, should we modify the LX build to somehow wget the VSA and copy it in to LAR? Or should we have a top-level "blob" directory in v3 that includes the vsa file, and then build it in to LAR?
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.
Absolutely - this is exactly why LAR was modified to handle this behavior transparently and easily. Don't include any VSA (or other optionROM behavior in coreboot). We have nearly divorced the payload from the coreboot build, please don't move us back.
