I think there is a flaw in the my implementation which breaks reading or
writing from terminal mode. I just need to but the avr910_read_byte()
avr910_write_byte() functions back in the code (luckily I didn't remove the
hooks I had previously added). I'm assuming that the stk500 just does this
with the ':' command to access the device via the spi interface directly.

Also, I'm wondering if the paged_write and paged_load methods should have an 
interface change to allow setting a starting address. It looks like both the 
stk500 and avr910 are hard coded to start the operation at addr 0. Is there 
a compelling reason that someone would wish to read or write a block of 
memory at some offset? I don't see this being needed for flash (except for 
maybe to load a bootloader only???), but it could be reasonable to want to 
do it for eeprom.

Anyways, I'll re-add the code for byte read/write access for avr910 which I 
removed when going to paged ops. :-\
