[flashrom] [PATCH] Add new programmer for SPI EEPROMs attached to Intel 82580 NICs.

This patch lets you read and write the EEPROM on 82580-based gigabit NIC
cards. So far it has been tested on copper NICs only, but other variants
employing this controller should work too.
It is a nice substitution for the official eeupdate tool.

Speed is quite decent: less than 5 seconds for writes of 32 kB chips.

Hello Ricardo,

the patch is not merged yet but I think the final version is attached
below (applicable to r1830). We have integrated proper support for
EEPROM semantics in r1822 which is used in this patch. This allows
flashrom to write without prior erases which were implicitly
scheduled without said patch unnecessarily on EEPROMs. Maybe this
even speeds up things a bit. I'll commit the patch as soon as it got
tested. Thanks again for the initial patch, all the testing and also
your patience with us ;)
