i did:
ifdtool -f layout.txt ifd.bin
changed layout.txt to say this:
00000000:00000fff fd
00019000:007fffff bios
00001000:00018fff me
00fff000:00000fff gbe
00fff000:00000fff pd
then i did:
ifdtool -n layout.txt ifd.bin -O ifd.bin
this was done to the ifd for hp 3500 pro, based on
the 96KB size of the truncated me.bin via me_cleaner,
when downloading vendor files in lbmk.
it's the policy of libreboot that me.bin should always
be shrunk, and the BIOS region enlarged.
in the original HP 3500 PRO patch submitted, the ME region
was larger, with region boundaries like this:
00000000:00000fff fd
00400000:007fffff bios
00001000:003fffff me
00fff000:00000fff gbe
00fff000:00000fff pd
In the above example, you see that the BIOS region is 4MB.
In the new setup, BIOS is about 7.9MB.

coreboot already unlocks the regions during build, by default,
anyway, and this was present in the submitter's patch.
however, it's also good to unlock the IFD regions. like so:
ifdtool --unlock ifd.bin -O ifd.bin
this has been done, on the ifd for hp pro 3500

ifdtool --altmedisable 1 ifd.bin -O ifd.bin
always remember to do this, when adding a new
ifd to lbmk. i merged the 3500 port anyway, since
the submitted already used me_cleaner anyway, but
setting the HAP bit is also useful. for example, if
someone was to only flash the BIOS region, which is
possible in this case since the submitter also
didn't truncate the ME region or enlarge the BIOS
region.
in that case, flashing IFD and BIOS is another valid
way to do it, where IFD's HAP bit is set

Everything should work except cpu fan control because ME cleaning breaks PECI.
