Now my x220 has survived nearly one hour, and the MEI has disappeared from PCI bus, but, additionally, the integrated NIC ceased to be functional with such error seen from dmesg:

Hi Persmule,<br>
Thanks for trying out Nicola's script to clean the ME blob.<br>
<br>
Be careful whenever you try changing ME blob to poweroff completely
the computer, and start again, because apparently if you don't
reboot the ME won't load the new firmware from the flash.<br>
In fact it happened to me that after flashing a non valid ME
firmware on my X201 the computer survived the reboot but became a
brick after shutdown.<br>
<br>
The possibility of replacing the ME blob inside an official (Lenovo
or other) bios is very interesting because it extends also to
hardware not supported by coreboot, and probabily to CPUs newer than
Ivy Bridge (Trammell Hudson tested it on a Skylake mobile CPU
