On component level all storage is counted in bits. 2MBits=256Kbyte.
flashrom should always use the byte size, where did it report Mbit?

Get the gplvsa blob from Marc. I don't recall if OpenVSA has been
verified to work yet. Searching for "vsa" on the coreboot wiki gives
hits for other systems using Geode, and one of them has the link to
this latest version of gplvsa:

(The older version 1.01 is at AMD:
http://www.amd.com/files/connectivitysolutions/geode/geode_lx/amd_vsa_lx_1.01.bin.gz
this was also linked from the wiki.)
