OpenOCD needs this feature! I think OpenOCD will need a script to convert the BSDL to some XML or to a simple standard file (even C source code), then openocd can map it to JTAG chain. Finally libopenocd will let other software to control each pin individually. It makes simple to CAD software (i.e. KiCAD) to do what you suggested. Also it will make easy to someone create a simple graphical python interface with all pins from a BGA chip, then you just click on a ball (a pin) to change its status.
