I'd like to fix flashrom if possible. You probably need to add some board-specific code to util/flashrom/flash_enable.c, see for example: http://tracker.linuxbios.org/trac/LinuxBIOS/browser/trunk/LinuxBIOSv2/util/flashrom/flash_enable.c#L472 FWIW, I'm using my Gigabyte GA-6BXC board (440BX, PIIX4) to flash LinuxBIOS images, and it works just fine.
