92 On GM45 laptops with ICH9M southbridge and Intel PHY module, the MAC address
93 is hardcoded in boot flash, which means it can be changed if you re-flash.

110 The `ich9utils` program is more useful in an lbmk context, because it
111 generates an entire Intel Flash Descriptor and GbE region from scratch;
112 coreboot has a similar method in its build system, using its own utility
113 called bincfg, but this tool is unused in lbmk.
114
115 No tool like ich9utils exists for these boards yet, but lbmk includes the IFD
116 and GbE files in-tree (Intel ME is handled by extracting from Lenovo updates,
