Ouch. Yeah, this bit me a bit. Luckily, the hostboot log message that
could hint at the problem is only a few hundred lines prior to the point
where you end in a world of pain.

Merged to master (even though it hasn't shown up in patchwork yet) as of
73e1e8a727a9e7179719eb7844bd4248d9890114.

Joel/Andrew/Patrick: It's been a way too long day for me to remember who
looks after the pflash build in OpenBMC, but you're *really* going to
want to bump up to something that includes this ASAP.
