I did a brief post on ME Cleaner, found on an article pointed out to me by a reader (i.e., I missed it). Phoronix has a story on ME Cleaner, including a pointer to it’s hardware/firmware-compatibility page, which I also missed:

ME Cleaner: A cleaner for Intel ME (Management Engine) images.
This tools removes any unnecessary partition from an Intel ME firmware, reducing its size and its ability to interact with the system. It should work both with Coreboot and with the factory BIOS. Currently this tool:
  * Scans the FPT (partition table) and checks that everything is correct
  * Removes any partition entry (except for FTPR) from FPT
  * Removes any partition except for the fundamental one (FTPR)
