Cannot we avoid adding code to core.img that it not called from
core.img?  Just because it's written in assembly it doesn't mean it
should be in the in the core.

Sure, we are better off now that we are using lzma, but it we start
adding stuff mindlessly, core.img can again grow too large for some
setups.
