Personally, I can't; I defer to lxoliva on that. He has a script that he runs against the kernel that has an accept whitelist for code that looks like a non-free blob, but is ok. See:
http://www.fsfla.org/svnwiki/selibre/linux-libre/download...
An example would be something like this: drivers/input/keyboard/atkbd.c which has a blobby looking table, but is ok.
