I've just done some reading, that should do the trick. Except
according to the datasheet you should use ID3 for this not ID2,
essentially the ID pins control where in the 8M of space the contents
of the chip gets mapped, by using ID3 you can flip your 4M ROM between
the top and the bottom of the address range, as I say I've not looked
too deeply into LPC but my reading of the datasheet suggests that if
you use ID2 you will end up with half of your two ROMs overlapping.
