If you are using an EPCS serial flash, then the configuration can be loaded by the FPGA in AS mode without involving a processor. You still can use a processor to write the flash, but in can be also programmed through the FPGA, e.g. JTAG indirect programming.

I don't see a particular advantage of the shown configuration schematic.
