Thats what the --offset command is for. Every programmer I've used
for the last 20 years (probably about 10) works this way. Its

zero.
It may be expected by people working with programmers, but how can we
tell x86 users with no standalone programmer experience that flashing
smaller images (with the suggested bottom alignment) bricks their
systems by default?
I'm not proposing that the default behavior change. The current
behavior is perfectly correct for the flash-my-PC-BIOS case where if
things go wrong you are dead.
I'm talking about the external programmer case. It would be contingent
on the -p option. If you are using an external programmer then you can't
brick your system and you aren't a casual user.
