Great! About 100 lines left to write for flashing support, but I know
how to write them and probably can do it without hardware.

Don't let yourself be irritated by that.

No problem. Can you commit with your changes? Changelog follows:

Add preliminary SPI flash identification support for SPI chips attached
to ITE IT8716F Super I/O. Right now this is hardcoded to the Gigabyte
M57SLI board. It works only with rev 2.0 of the board, but it will bail
out on earlier versions, so no damage can occur.
