Hmm, or better, straight in the flashing tool. The flash chips are
actually smart and do not erase already empty sectors (so sending an
erase command to erase an empty sector is very fast).
So all the flasher tool needs to do is skip writing large amounts of
consecutive F's in a sector that was just erased... maybe it does that
already?
