it doesn't really make sense for them to be under
blobs/ - nominally, they are blobs, but they are
well-understood data files containing config data,
that is easily parsed by tools like ich9show or
ifdtool (and tools like bincfg or nvmutil)
blobs/ has been re-purposed: this directory no longer
exists in lbmk, but it is created (and on .gitignore)
when needed, by blobutil
thus, the blobs/ directory shall only contain vendor
files, and only those files that libreboot scrubs from
releases. therefore, build/release/src can (and has
been) simplified; it currently copies just the ifd and
gbe files from blobs/, selectively, and this logic is
quite error prone, requiring maintenance. now, the
build/release/src script simply copies config/ (which
only ever contains distributable files) and entirely
ignores the blobs/ directory
the blob download script already creates the required
directory, except for the sch5545 download; this is
now fixed
lbmk code size is slightly smaller, due to this patch

This cuts down on build time, and it will allow libreboot
to remove large chunks of code.
these ifd/gbe configs are just binary-encoded config files,
in a format well-understood. they can easily be opened up
and displayed, using ich9show or ifdtool, and manipulated
by these tools; bincfg can generate them from scratch, and
nvmutil can change mac addresses, for example.
so, do this and remove from lbmk the following:
* ich9utils (which contains ich9gen) - not needed anymore
* code in lbmk for handling ich9gen and insertions; the
coreboot build system is now used, for this same purpose,
so remove such code from lbmk
this results in a massive code size reduction (thousands of
lines) in lbmk; smaller when only looking at the build
system, but much larger when you consider that ich9utils
is also removed (about 3k sloc)

a follow-up patch will make use of these, rather than ich9gen,
and ich9gen will be deleted.
these files were in fact generated *by* ich9gen.
coreboot has ifdtool and bincfg, the latter of which can
generate both ifd and gbe files for ich9m. that, and nvmutil
which is part of libreboot, can change gbe mac addresses.
i was going to replace ich9gen with a script that would run
bincfg, ifdtool and nvmutil, to greatly reduce code size,
because ich9gen is about 3k sloc.
however, in practise we would always generate the same ifd
config, and basically only change the mac address if that's
what the user wants; nvmutil can already do that just fine.
so, just include the binaries directly.

More than 90% of cats were thus terminated.
read (shell built-in) is better at reading, and dogs are better pets.

the way this script works, it only copies what was built,
but it currently operatios as though coreboot/default
always exists, and then cleans the kbc1126 util
this patch fixes such buggy behaviour

The -c option is added for distclean, and -x for crossgcc-clean,

about 100 sloc removed from lbmk

The -T option specifies how many threads xz shall use.
The -T value of zero shall dictate that xz use so many
threads as there are CPUs, on the host system.
This will probably speed up the release process a bit.

The same ROM images that you flash on Intel GPU variants,
are now flashed on Nvidia models. The same ROM will work
on both. If an Intel GPU variant is present, libgfxinit
is used, and the VGA ROM is used if an Nvidia GPU variant;
however, release ROMs will scrub the nvidia option ROM,
so release ROMs will only work on Intel GPUs unless you
run the blobutil inject command.
I decided to no longer have this under WIP, but to put
it in master. The issue with it pertains to video drivers,
which is not Libreboot's problem.
Nouveau crashes under Linux, so use "nomodeset" if it does.
The "nv" drivers in BSD systems work very well.
The nvidia model of E6400 isn't recommended for other
reasons, namely: poor thermal cooling (thermal pad on
the GPU) and that Nvidia GPU doesn't get very good
performance on any libre drivers anyway. The Intel GPU
variant is better, in terms of power efficiency and
software support; the intel variant also works with
native graphics initialisation in coreboot.
This board port already only enables SeaBIOS, which will
simply execute the VGA ROM. Blobutil already supports
reading the config, detecting that a VGA ROM is needed,
because that part of the WIP E6400 branch was already
merged in lbmk master.

lbmk never needed a makefile, because the build system
is all shell scripting; the former makefile simply called
those scripts, in a way that was mostly superfluous
build/release/src was still trying to copy it, so let's
remove it from that file

this means the unified /tmp handling is now provided for
in both the former "fetch" and "fetch_trees" script, which
are now (respectively):
./update project repo
./update project trees
if the fetch scripts weren't cleaning /tmp before, they
now are, because lbmk handles it

libreboot's build system, lbmk, *is* available to use
in releases aswell (use the _src tarball), but it is
mostly intended for development, in lbmk.git
well, there's not much point wasting time / disk space
generating no-microcode roms within lbmk
they should be generated only at release time, alongside
the default ones
this patch implements that, thus speeding up the build
process and saving disk usage during development
the other alternative was to add a new option in
build/boot/roms, -m, that would opt in to removing them,
but this is extra complexity for something that is ill
advised and only provided to appease certain people
