I'm working on that. 2 options: removing the whitelist from the BIOS, or hacking a NVMe firmware to impersonate a whitelisted WWAN (a small boottime delay to answer requests could also be sufficient)
The latter might be easier, as the firmware update seems to have more vulnerabilities. Also NVMe are cheaper in case I mess up and can't reflash with flashrom for a reason or another.
If anyone here works for a storage company and could make a firmware with a given PCI id or a 10 seconds delay before showing up on the bus, please get in touch!

Same, I want a X12 with an AMD, or a Xeon because even if the latter is a power hog, at least I'll have ECC!
