It seem way worse with newer "FSP" blobs...
On qemu, coreboot is not necessary: some coreboot payloads (like seabios) are capable of beeing the full bootstrap firware(because qemu is really simple: most of the complex hardware already works). Then I really wonder what's left for coreboot in the systems that uses the FSP blob. If I understood correctly, coreboot would run as hooks, and do some mostly standard stuff that a payload (or coreboot) can do. Then at the end coreboot would run a payload.
