very interesting. Thing is, this is pretty much the antithesis of
build-time serial number creation ... which is the thing that I don't
see scaling.
Right now we compile any serial number right into .text, and modifying
that is not a good idea (plus,

That's not the why, that's the what. Indeed you already wrote what

I guess PC technology is finally beyond requiring those at fixed magic
offsets. Some of our chipsets still need it that way.

Neither do text files.

realistically, though, it's hard for me to see how setting the serial # at
firmware image build time scales. And setting it after boot makes no real
sense either -- it's not really a serial number if you're changing it at
that point.
But some way to customize the binary images with a serial
