    util: Add me_cleaner
    
    me_cleaner is a tool to strip down Intel ME/TXE images by removing all
    the non-fundamental code, while keeping the ME/TXE image valid and
    suitable for booting the system. The remaining code (ROMP and BUP
    modules) is the one responsible for the very basic initialization of
    the ME/TXE subsystem and can't be removed.
    
    This tool exploits the fact that:
     * Each ME/TXE partition is signed individually and it is possible to
        remove both the partition and the signature.
     * The ME/TXE modules are not signed directly, instead they are hashed
        and the list of their hashes is hashed again and signed: this
        means that modifying a module doesn't invalidate the signature,
        but only the hash of that single module.
     * The modules hashes are checked only when the corresponding module
        needs to be executed.
     * The system can boot after the execution of the first module (BUP,
        inside the FTPR partition), even if the subsequent stages fail.
    
    Currently me_cleaner works on every Intel platform with Intel ME or
    Intel TXE with the following limitations:
     * Doesn't work when Intel Boot Guard is set in Verified Boot mode.
     * Doesn't fully work on Nehalem yet.
     * On Skylake and later generations, since the partitions' internal
        structure has changed, me_cleaner leaves intact the FTPR
        partition, removing all the the other partitions.
    
    This tool has been tested on multiple platforms and architectures by
    different users, and seems to be stable. The reports are available
    here:
    https://github.com/corna/me_cleaner/issues/3
    
    A more in-depth description of me_cleaner is available here:

+# ME cleaner
+
+A cleaner for Intel ME/TXE images.
+
+This tools removes any unnecessary partition from an Intel ME/TXE firmware, reducing
+its size and its ability to interact with the system.
+It should work both with coreboot and with the factory firmware.
+
+Currently this tool:
+ * Scans the FPT (partition table) and checks that everything is correct
+ * Removes any partition entry (except for FTPR) from FPT
+ * Removes any partition except for the fundamental one (FTPR)
+ * Removes the EFFS presence flag
+ * Corrects the FPT checksum
+ * Removes any non-essential LZMA or Huffman compressed module (pre-Skylake only)
+ * Checks the validity of the RSA signature of the FTPR partition
+
+Don't forget to power cycle your PC after flashing the modified ME/TXE image
+(power off and power on, not just reboot).
+
+See the [current status](https://github.com/corna/me_cleaner/wiki/me_cleaner-status)
+or [a more detailed description](https://github.com/corna/me_cleaner/wiki/How-does-it-work%3F)
+of me_cleaner.
+
+Special thanks to Federico Amedeo Izzo for his help during the study of Intel ME.
