spread out a few lines, so that they are more

See:
https://edc.intel.com/content/www/us/en/design/ipla/software-development-platforms/client/platforms/alder-lake-mobile-p/intel-600-series-chipset-family-on-package-platform-controller-hub-pch-datash/spi0-for-flash/
The rules described there are universal, and replicated elsewhere
for many other platforms. The rules are simply:
* Flash descriptor is one block size, e.g. 4KB
* GbE is two block sizes, so if IfD is 4KB, GbE is 8KB
Intel defines 16KB and 128KB GbE files in specs, pertaining to
8KB and 64KB block sizes respectively.
The minimum size is 4KB blocksize, for 8KB GbE files which
we already supported. On larger block sizes, the same 4KB
parts are observed: a single 4KB IfD area at the start of
the block, and:
4KB GbE part at the start of the GbE region, and:
4KB GbE part at the start of GbE region plus block size
The empty space inbetween is padding, and we ignore it,
except when running swap/copy commands.
The nvmutil code has been modified, to create a 128KB buffer in
memory instead of 8KB, for loading GbE files.
Partsize is set to GbE file size divided by 2, and only the
area of memory we need to use is mapped; for example, if
we're loading a 8KB GbE file into memory, we only touch
the first 8KB part of the buffer, or first 16KB for 128KB
files.
In practise, we almost never see GbE files with sizes higher
than 8KB, but *we have seen it*, *AND NOW IT'S SUPPORTED!"

We were checking directories *after* calling unveil, which
means that the sandboxing was incomplete; we only want files
to be accessed, not directories.

A lot of size-coding was performed in prior audits, to
make the sloccount lower on nvmutil, but this resulted in
code that wasn't very human readable.
I've reversed some of it and added comments, for clarity.

The user might wish to uninstall, but not remove the

The user can still do make clean if they wish.

DESTDIR is the root directory where it goes, which
is normally an empty string; PREFIX is where the
bin directory is located, relative to DESTDIR
Default to /usr/local for PREFIX, not /usr, because
/usr/bin is for system utilities.
nvmutil is a local utility.

We don't want to clobber anything that the user set themselves.
Instead, we should respect the user's choice.

This makes the code easier to understand.
All 2-byte words, stored in little endian order within
the 128-byte GbE NVM area, must add up to 0xBABA.
If it doesn't, then software is supposed to reject that
GbE config. The nvmutil software works on that basis.

make it look like hexdump -C, where individual bytes are
spaced, and there is an additional space after 8 bytes,
per row.
i won't bother with a character display, since that is
meaningless on gbe nvm words.

I don't like using SPDX for actual copyright declarations.
I only want it to be used for the license identifier.
Also:
I made a *single* change to nvmutil.c in 2024, which means
that I have copyright in all years since and including 2022;
the file said 2022, 2023, 2025, but it's actually 2022-2025.

I don't like using strings this way, it looks unclean.
Once again, use good old fashioned if/else.

Use shell scripting in the recipe instead of GNU make's

Add FreeBSD to the README as it is now supported. Make a note about
using gmake instead of make as the makefile currently uses GNU

The pio.h header, although present on NetBSD, is not necessary, as it

implemented.

The x86 port IO instructions do not access memory so it is not

In order for the EC to maintain the state of whether or not to set the
flash descriptor override across a power cycle, the AC adapter must be
connected, as the system leaves the voltage rail that the EC uses
powered under this condition. Without this, the utility may fail,
continually asking the user to power off and on.
On Linux, CONFIG_X86_IOPL_IOPERM must be set for the kernel, or else the
iopl call will error with "Function not implemented". Make a note of
this in case a user runs into this issue.

These systems have a report that the unlock utility does not work.
Until there are multiple reports of failed unlocks and a technical
determination of why it doesn't work, they will not be listed as
explicitly unsupported.

As this utility requires access to /dev/mem, the default protections of
Linux and OpenBSD must be relaxed to allow this. Make a note of this in
the instructions.

The old Open Security Training site had a course called Advanced x86:
BIOS and SMM Internals, which had a set of slides outlining the method
to supress SMIs by changing the GBL_SMI_EN bit. Add a reference to it as
this is where I originally learned of this method.
