when i wrote the blackfin system level port of the gnu sim, it was so i could
do this (and i thought it'd be bad-ass). i often use the gnu sim to do
initial testing (sometimes down to the driver level) before i get around to
loading up on actual hardware.

sf - SPI flash sub-system
Usage:
sf probe [bus:]cs [hz] [mode] - init flash device on given SPI bus
and chip select
sf read addr offset len - read `len' bytes starting at
`offset' to memory at `addr'
sf write addr offset len - write `len' bytes from memory
at `addr' to flash at `offset'
sf erase offset [+]len - erase `len' bytes from `offset'
`+len' round up `len' to block size
