I looked it up again, and I was partly wrong.  Turns out only five
states disallow bicycles statewide on freeways:  Ohio, Minnesota, Maine,
Indiana, Hawaii and Georgia.  The rest may allow it and post such
restrictions at the ramps.  The 28 I previously mentioned as allowing it
provide signage for cyclists on freeways.
