MCP6x/MCP7x SPI patches easier. Kill a few global variables and require

This led to wildly differing syntax for programmer parameters, and
it also voids pretty much every assumption you could make about
programmer_param. The latter is a problem for libflashrom.

Use extract_param everywhere, clean up related code and make it more
foolproof. Add two instances of exit(1) where we have no option to
return an error. Remove six instances of exit(1) where returning an
error was possible.

WARNING: This changes programmer parameter syntax for a few programmers!

If a programmer has untested or non-working write/erase code, but
probing/reading works, it makes sense to protect the user against
write/erase accidents. This feature will be used by the Nvidia MCP SPI
code, and it also might make sense for the gfxnvidia driver which has
non-working write/erase.

Effects on the binary size of flashrom are minimal (300 bytes

- x86/x86_64 (little endian)
- PowerPC (big endian)
- MIPS (big+little endian)

No changes to programmer specific code. This means any drivers with MMIO
access will _not_ suddenly start working on big endian systems, but with
this patch everything is in place to fix them.

Compilation should work on all architectures listed above for all
drivers except nic3com and nicrealtek which require PCI Port IO which is
x86-only for now.

To compile without nic3com and nicrealtek, run
make distclean
make CONFIG_NIC3COM=no CONFIG_NICREALTEK=no

Thanks to Misha Manulis for testing early versions of this patch on
PowerPC (big endian) with the satasii programmer.
Thanks to Segher Boessenkool for design review and for helping out with
compiler tricks and pointing out that we need eieio on PowerPC.
Thanks to Vladimir Serbinenko for compile testing on MIPS (little

Thanks to Uwe Hermann for compile and runtime testing on x86_64.

DO NOT RUN flashrom ON NON-X86 AFTER APPLYING THIS PATCH!

drivers, so flashrom will compile, but it won't do the right thing on
non-x86 platforms.

- Force chip read by faking probe success.
- Force chip access even if the chip is bigger than max decode size for
  the flash bus.
- Force erase even if erase is known bad.
- Force write even if write is known bad.
- Force writing even if cbtable tells us that this is the wrong image
  for this board.

This patch cleans up --force usage:
- Remove any suggestions to use --force for probe/read from flashrom
  output.
- Don't talk about "success" or "Found chip" if the chip is forced.
- Add a new internal programmer parameter boardmismatch=force. This
  overrides any mismatch detection from cbtable/image comparisons.
- Add a new internal programmer parameter laptop=force_I_want_a_brick.
- Adjust the documentation for --force.
- Clean up the man page a bit whereever it talks about --force or
  laptops.

Additional changes in this patch:
- Add warnings about laptops to the documentation.
- Abort if a laptop is detected. Can be overridden with the programmer
parameter mentioned above.
- Add "Portable" to the list of DMI strings indicating laptops.
- Check if a chip specified with -c is known to flashrom.
- Programmer parameter reliability and consistency fixes.
- More paranoid self-checks.
- Improve documentation.

The following write granularities exist according to my datasheet
survey: - 1 bit. Each bit can be cleared individually. - 1 byte. A byte
can be written once. Further writes to an already written byte cause
the contents to be either undefined or to stay unchanged. - 128 bytes.
If less than 128 bytes are written, the rest will be erased. Each write
to a 128-byte region will trigger an automatic erase before anything is
written. Very uncommon behaviour. - 256 bytes. If less than 256 bytes
are written, the contents of the unwritten bytes are undefined.

Note that chips with default 256-byte writes, which keep the original
contents for unwritten bytes, have a granularity of 1 byte.

Handle 1-bit, 1-byte and 256-byte write granularity.

Some programmers want to run certain functions during programmer
shutdown, but the function choice depends on the code path taken
during programmer init. Rather than rebuilding the whole init logic in
the shutdown function, it is now possible to register functions for
execution on programmer shutdown. The behaviour is similar to atexit(),
but the registered functions will be run on programmer shutdown instead
of on exit and the functions will be called with a void * argument
that is specified on registration. Registered functions must have
the prototype void function(void *); and will be executed in reverse
registration order directly before calling the programmer-specific
shutdown() function. It is recommended to have shutdown() only disable
programmer/hardware access and leave all code path sensitive shutdown to
functions registered with register_shutdown().

The most prominent use case is resetting the EC after flashing on
laptops.

Note: There are quite a few code paths in flashrom which proceed to
terminate flashrom without any programmer shutdown. Those code paths
will not get the benefit of register_shutdown() and they should be
changed wherever possible.

This should take care of picky Linux kernels which do not allow uncached
mappings to cached areas. Handle mapping failure gracefully (no forced
exit()) if the caller specifies it.

Such cached areas which can handle mapping failure are DMI tables and
coreboot tables. On failure we just ignore those tables. That is not
perfect, but a lot better than aborting flashrom due to an error in
nonessential functionality.

This should fix flashrom on a sizable number of machines where it
currently aborts early.

Yes, I could have exploited a Linux kernel bug to "solve" this, but
relying on such bugs is not exactly the best idea.
