   I've written code to parse the download agent firmware for the
   different mediatek phones and dumped the chip id -> platform table used
   to index the firmware.
   It was difficult to do the table dumping. If I've ever written a
   patcher before, it was a very very long time ago. It uses gdb to load a
   .so into the binary to output the boost::container::map that the table
   is constructed into. This seemed easier for me than decompiling all the
   inlined hardcoded item insertions.
   Here's the mediatek chipid map, also in git, my big accomplishment
   today. The gdb code for extracting it is in the git too.
