No need to ask. The code is freely available and rather simple. The
reason flashrom does not do it is that the mechanism incorporates
calling 16bit code. Nothing too magic. It will just never work with 
AMD64 64bit kernels.

You might also require to specify an Award BIOS image to make the
AWDFLASH way work.
