It's not a particularly difficult thing to make. You just need to stick
a bunch of NOR flash in a BAR. 

M-Systems have a PCI eval board which is based on a simple PCI device
ASIC, but I don't think it supports NOR flash -- it's designed for their
DiskOnChip devices.

Some of the ARM eval boards can plug into a PCI slot too and have their
flash accessed directly from the host.
