Flash_rom

[YhLu]

Ollie,

I checked the flash_rom, and find that you remove the code for check if the
sector is really erased.

Also I found the flash_rom can not work under 2.6.4.and 2.6.5 in x86_64
mode, and it seems only last 4k can not be erased. [0x7f000, 0x7ffff].

Regards

YH

We had some problem about the erase/write check. It caused false alarm
which means when it complained about a sector not erased, the sector
is actually erased.

If your want to ckech the programming, use the -v verify option.

We tried flash_rom in 64bit kernel. But I don't know which version.
David, can you answer this ?
