 You're right: an area is write protected by ICH9 due to current BIOS
 initialization. It's possible to read this descriptor in flash address 0
 (offset 60H).
 As the descriptor can be written by flashrom -r, I patch it and reload it
 by flashrom -w.
 Then, I must reboot so that modifications are taken into account by ICH9.
 After this reboot, it's possible to re-write the entire flash.
