Since block erase functions do not know the block length (it's not
specified in any standard), block erase functions now get an additional
parameter blocklen. This enables flashrom to verify the erase result for
block erase functions at correct boundaries.

FYI, this board can only decode 256 KB chips (not 512 KB ones) unfortunately.
The highest address line (A18) is not connected on this board.

The it8705f_write_enable() is kept generic enough so it can be reused for other
board-enables, possibly in the board_biostar_p4m80_m4() for example, but that
shouldn't be touched for now, unless someone can test the code.

supported flash chips (and their status, size, and type), chipsets (plus
status), mainboards (plus status), and external PCI devices usable as
programmer to stdout.

This allows for very easy pasting into the http://coreboot.org/flashrom


page, so we can keep that page up-to-date without much hassle.

write-enable code, and known-bad ones) and also lists URLs to the
vendor's mainboard pages.
