flashrom is a utility for identifying, reading, writing, verifying
and erasing flash chips. It is designed to flash BIOS, EFI, coreboot,
firmware and optionROM images on mainboards, network/graphics/storage
controller cards, and various programmer devices.

This uses a patched pciutils to emulate 8/16-bit writes, diff from
an old ports@ post from Carl-Daniel Hailfinger. As it requires write
access to /dev/mem it will not run on a normally booted OpenBSD
system; there is a README that makes it clear that one should not
take it lightly and advises running it only in single user mode
(both so that write access can be done, and so that network
services aren't running).

OK to import it? It's been useful for me while building new APU
boxes and I know a few other people have been using old versions
of this on openbsd-wip for the same.
