Actually, the first half of plugin support in flashrom has already been merged. SPI is already completely plugin-ready. A plugin for an external flasher simply registers as SPI chipset driver. No further changes needed. LPC/FWH/Parallel is mostly done. The mmap operations need to be abstracted out, the driver for the external flasher has to register its own version of chip_readb/chip_writeb and you're done except for cosmetic changes.
