Some legacy BIOSes seem to use that method. Stuffing a complete flashrom binary there would be overkill, though.
He was talking about turning flashrom into a library. I guess you'd have to ask him about the details though.
Well like I said earlier. Why not setup a small jffs2 filesystem in flash to host filo.conf? We would also have to add support for jffs2 to FILO. But it would work pretty cool. I also found some old posts where Eric Biederman was looking into jffs2 for something else. I'm not sure if he got anywhere with it.
