Hi all,
I'm back. With a new laptop.
I'm now rocking a Lenovo x230 tablet, dual-booting Windows 7 and Fuduntu, both 64-bit. Knowing the last time I contributed to coreboot it was the good old 440BX when life was much simpler, it could be a while before I can get up to speed again, so I'll for now just put forth the obligatory lspci/superiotool dump to give any interested parties a heads-up of what support needs to be programmed for.
Another interesting thing is it does UEFI.
Below is output of flashrom 0.9.6.1. I cannot get it to identify the flash chip. lspci and superiotool dumps are attached.

Thanks. ======================================================================== WARNING! You seem to be running flashrom on an unsupported laptop. Laptops, notebooks and netbooks are difficult to support and we recommend to use the vendor flashing utility. The embedded controller (EC) in these machines often interacts badly with flashing. See http://www.flashrom.org/Laptops for details.
If flash is shared with the EC, erase is guaranteed to brick your laptop and write may brick your laptop. Read and probe may irritate your EC and cause fan failure, backlight failure and sudden poweroff. You have been warned. ======================================================================== Aborting. Error: Programmer initialization failed.
