sure. will do.

The goal behind this patch is to start experimenting with user created
"m25p80" devices such :
 
  -drive file=<file>,format=raw,id=drive0 -device mx66l1g45g,bus=ssi.0,drive=drive0

BMC machines are starting to duplicate and I think, at least for Aspeed,
that we should offer a bare machine per SoC and let the user define
the I2C topology on the command line. The other aspect to cover is
the definition of the flash devices (possibly 3 controllers * 2-3 CS).

Adding a cs= or and addr= is the next step.

Thanks,
