I'm going to name the CFE locations, nvram and anything that is a
property of the flash layout BCM963XX_*, as a theoretical board using
BCM63XX with no flash wouldn't use these. The parser is still called
bcm63xxpart so that's currently an anomaly.

I'm working on making it support both NOR and NAND flash layouts.
