Hello Jason,

thanks for the patch. It looks good apart from the .tested field which
should be set to TEST_OK_PREW and I'd like to commit it. For that we
need a proper declaration of authorship though. Please see
http://www.coreboot.org/Development_Guidelines#Sign-off_Procedure

Performance was always an issue with the Bus Pirate (especially with
SST chips that required 1-byte writes), but I thought the FT2232-based
programmers to be faster. If flashrom didn't complain about failing
erases or something similar it is probably normal.
