erase.c

[Kári Davíðsson]

Hi,

In the intel chip that we are using here all sectors seem to be locked
by default.
So in the erase utility I propose the following patch.

Maybe it is ambigous to do force unlocking of sectors like this.
Should we maybe have a separate utility to lock/unlock sectors?

K.D.
