Yes, those are stored in the FMAP regions SI_ALL, ME_RW_A and ME_RW_B
that I mentioned in the bug. We're planning to replace them with
zeroes as well. (For those it's actually easier since they are not
directly signed by vboot.)

FMAP and CBFS are two layers of organization structures in our images,
with FMAP being the top one.  You can see the offsets for which FMAP
section covers what with `futility dump_fmap -h <image file>`. This
will show you that offsets 0x93000 and 0x108000 lie in the SI_ME
section (a subsection of SI_ALL) for bios_link_mp.bin.
