Our choices right now are:

1) Break machines that don't garbage collect on every reboot
2) Leave Samsungs (and some Lenovos?) vulnerable to bricking
3) Maintain a whitelist or blacklist that will inevitably be inadequate,
either breaking otherwise working machines or risking bricking of broken
ones
4) Attempt to implement something that'll work in all cases

Dealing with firmware is hard. This fixes (1) without leaving us with
(2), which seems like a net win.
