On the advice of Tom Rini,

I'm making 'another' small change to the default u-boot.

For awhile now, in u-boot we defaulted to a usb-eth gadget on the slave port.

I'm switching that to the UMS or USB Mass Storage function..

What this means:

>From u-boot prompt:

Hit any key to stop autoboot:  0
U-Boot# ums 0 mmc 1
UMS: disk start sector: 0x0, count: 0x394000

a new flash drive will show up on your linux/win machine...

and you can flash the eMMC over the usb connection:

voodoo@zeus:/opt/images/bb.org$ time sudo dd
if=./bone-debian-7.7-console-armhf-2014-12-19-2gb.img of=/dev/sdc
[sudo] password for voodoo:
3481600+0 records in
3481600+0 records out
1782579200 bytes (1.8 GB) copied, 3814.3 s, 467 kB/s

real    63m36.405s
user    0m4.488s
sys     0m50.800s

It is 10x slow, but on reset:

That's pretty cool. ;)  And should be useful for users with no
secondary microSD cards'...
