Having all our precompiled blobs be in a submodule would
maybe be handy for properly keeping them separate from the
QEMU code -- would that be useful for downstream distro
packagers?

In any case this seems like a good opportunity to write down
exactly what our policy about ROM blobs is (eg where they
are, how we update them, requirement for source, whether
we allow source to be in a submodule not on qemu.org...)
