I had tried something similar in a very early draft of IPE. The issue
that comes with this is that when you compile device-mapper as a module
(CONFIG_BLK_DEV_DM=m) you start to get linking errors with this
approach.

Obviously, we can fix this in the IPE's module Kconfig by setting the
dependency to be =y, but it's something to highlight. My general
preference is to support the =m configuration by using these blobs.

The runtime approach does work with fs-verity, because fs-verity is a
file-system level feature that cannot be compiled as a module.
