[flashrom] [PATCH] Speed up dediprog writes

Totally untested patch, may exhaust the write limit of your flash chip
or cause other weirdnesses. Don't blame me.
Yes, there is other dediprog stuff in that patch as well. Need to finish
that, but right now I need testers.

If it works, all chips which use spi_chip_write_256 should be written at
native speed. Chips using spi_chip_write_1 or spi_chip_write_aai will
still be slow.
