chromiumos' flashrom has something like that implemented globally IIRC.
It does not make too much sense to implement that for a single
programmer... could two instances get access to the interface
concurrently at all?

The GSoC student that made it last year sadly joined the US armed
forces, so don't expect too many answers regarding it from him.
Peter Stuge was the mentor and is probably the one to ask if you have
questions not answered by the website/code or last year's blog articles
