[flashrom] idea: make flashrom a "driver" in linux kernel

[The Gluglug]

Basically,

/dev/spi
This would be your flash chip, enumerated using flashrom.

flashrom -r equivalent:
dd if=/dev/spi of=dump.rom

flashrom -w eqivalent:
dd if=coreboot.rom of=/dev/spi

Where SPI is the internal SPI chip on your motherboard.
If (using flashrom as the backend) the linux kernel supports your flash 
chip, you could just use dd.

What does the community think of this idea?
