[coreboot] Dual SPI Flash adapter attempt 2.0

Had a few hours this evening, and .. it's done.

I've had to re-arrange some labels and 1 part to make sure the 
silk-screen would not interferer with the solderpads. Not sure how I 
could have missed that, it was really really small bit that was 
overlapping though.

Somehow I managed to mirror one of my labels on a component. So the part 
was on the top side, while the label looked like it was on the bottom 
side. Long story short, i just deleted the part, and copied it from the 
neighboring part. Due to all the renaming though, I get all strange 
connects when using the automated rats nest, but I guess that's the 
price to pay.

So the big question is; shall I send this to seeed for fabrication or 
does it need some big change?

In any case, thanks so far for all your time and help ;)
