[flashrom] Flashrom on stock X60(s)

[Tomasz Ostaszewski]

Hi all.
   I want to flash on of my X60s with a coreboot using flashrom. I did
search the flashrom list archive, and I found the "FAILED: MX25L1605
on Thinkpad X60s" (http://bit.ly/NetLop) and related "Lenovo T60 Type
8743-GZU - RAM Support? 3Gb or 4Gb" (http://bit.ly/Mfhi1W) threads.
Despite what the heading says, those threads do treat about a
successful flashing of a stock X60s with flahshrom utility. There is
is almost a complete descripton of what to do, and what to use.
However, for me there's one piece of the puzzle missing - the patch.

"[..]You need the flashrom source, a small patch, and my bucts utility
from http://git.stuge.se/?p=bucts.git"

The flashrom is readily available from SVN, the bucts from git, but
what are the patches and where to get them from?
And, if worst comes to the worst and I brick my X60s, would I be able
to resurrect it using a programmer and a SOIC-8 clip
(http://bit.ly/Nj8Sdx)? Or rather (de)soldering would be necessary?

Best regards,
