Using the MODULE_FIRMWARE tags of the drivers which are built.

This is actually the reason we haven't removed the legacy firmware from
the source tree yet; it's waiting for me to implement that bit.

It shouldn't be hard to post-process the modules and list the firmware
blobs that they reference. We'd just want to make it do the same for
built-in drivers too.
