IIUC these are indeed all blobs that are downloaded into some embedded
CPU on the device. Otherwise it would cause problems when compiling for
different architectures.
Also I believe that more recent drivers prefer to leave those binary
blobs outside of the kernel proper and download them at boottime from
/lib/firmware (via udev).
