Largely this requires a cooperative BIOS if you want to restore to something
besides LinuxBIOS.

I have a specific case in mind: a motherboard with a soldered in flash chip, and a 'cooperative' BIOS. I need to keep the option of restoring the vendor BIOS open until Linuxbios is working 100%.


Once you have LinuxBIOS we implement essentially the same thing in software
so the benefit is minor.  And by doing it in software we have it for
every kind of flash chip.

Will this work for a sector erase flash? Is there any documentation I can look at?
