is look through the coreboot source directory, looking for blobs. It will not

detected as blobs; some might be blobs, some not. The @emph{findblobs} script 
doesn't know how to determine between blobs and non-blobs, it only knows 
patterns. Distinguishing between blobs and non-blobs must be performed by you,
