Well My electrical engineering knowledge does not reach as far that I would know where to connect what :) I can read a schematic and solder based on that, but those pictures from the wiki that I linked, http://www.coreboot.org/Developer_Manual/Tools/Dual_Flash has a small PCB, with 2 flash chips on it, but I can't figure out where to connect what.
That's the simple mod with some photos showing the principle at http://stuge.se/m57sli/
A variation to the concept is to have a switch pull down the HOLD# pin to GND. This should also work fine as long as the switch is not toggled while the flash chip is being accessed.
I do think it's a great idea, and maybe it would be an idea to draw the PCB in kicad/geda or the like, and actually have small batches made. I know dangerousprototypes.com has loads of small PCB's made for a few bux.
I guess whoever made the PCB can publish source and gerbers so that others can order the same board if they want.
That would be probably the best idea to start with. I've been staring at the foto of the pvb for a while, and did notice as you said, only one pin is being diverted. Mrtadis is the one who uploaded the foto, his user page on the wiki however is quite empty, other then mentioning wanting to become a GSoC student.
