Flashing is very hardware-dependent -- on which device to flash, at
which address, and in which format, all this can vary from target to
target.

I am not an x86 specialist, but from boards.cfg, I see three targets:
coreboot (good for any platform which provides coreboot I suppose), and
eNET / eNET_SRAM, which will work only for eNET targets. Which one is
yours?

It seems arch/x86/cpu/u-boot.lds says what this emulation is good for,
i.e. just enough to boot Linux.
