It was added in 4.0, it's in the pciutils port. But you won't be able to
use it with flashrom without the patch that's in the flashrom port.

Afaict BiosDisk is a way to generate a disk image with freedos on,
to run the vendor's flash tool. You still need a way to boot that image.

Less of a pain than some options..

It puts it in ${MANDIR}/man8, if you're not using the port then
it's up to you to set MANDIR how you want during 'make install'.
Anyway I wouldn't recommend flashrom on a machine with an EC that it
reports as unsupported unless either you have confirmation that it
works from somebody else and/or you have an alternative way to
restore the flash. I'm not willing to say more than "it worked
on my APU2".
