Hello!
Here is simple draft of possible text for bug in linux, *bsd kernels.

"Project flashrom (http://www.flashrom.org) trying to get full and
free/open-source solution for BIOS reflashing.
It works nice on usual PC systems, and becoming new standard of
industry. But on laptops, which have one
independend processor core - Embedded Conroller (EC) there is a big
trouble to get it working safe, because
EC usually always interacting with OS over ACPI. And if flashrom try
to flash BIOS, when some of ACPI interrupt calls, it can make laptop
dead.
"
Best regards,
Anton Kochkov.
