with a 16MiB chip because of the invalid bios region.

Evgeny Zinoviev d2b3961fdc Documentation: Use correct KiB/MiB units instead of KB/MB
Fix a common mistake of using KB/MB where KiB/MiB is what actually is meant.

1 MB = (10^3)^2 = 1000000
1 MiB = (2^10)^2 = 1048576

Angel Pons 9223b71a4c Doc/mb/lenovo: Explain simpler GM45 flash method first
Do not mislead newcomers into thinking the GM45 series laptops are hard
to flash. Describe the simple coreboot flashing procedure first, then
explain how to remove the ME firmware and use a custom flash layout.

Also, reword a sentence on the simple flashing procedure for clarity.
