I know.

Yes.

All boards in coreboot using cpu/amd/model_lx need VSA, so rather
than teaching buildrom one coreboot target at a time, I am suggesting
to once and for all teach buildrom that all coreboot targets using
cpu/amd/model_lx need VSA, by reusing a mapping (between $target_name
and lx) that can be found in coreboot instead of duplicating the
mapping in buildrom.

This can be extrapolated to work for other things as well, but right
now I don't think there are any other uses.

Put another way:
buildrom should not need it's own list of boards that use model_lx
when coreboot already has one. (Though the index is backwards.)
