As long as we don't try to do it on devices which don't support it, or
on devices which have bugs when we try it (the early Intel ones did), it
should be fine.

In the first instance, send code to the list and/or me. For
cfi_cmdset_0002 patches, also Cc Thayne Harbaugh since he seems to have
mostly volunteered himself to maintain it ;)

I fairly quickly get bored and start letting you commit stuff yourself
-- the CVS logs are more truthful that way and then I know who to blame
when you break it... :)
