Well, Pekka Pessi had that idea already in 1987. He uses a MC 6821 PIA for bank-switching, and you have four 16kB banks. His expansion is for the C64, but I adapted it for the C128. See http://www.funet.fi/pub/cbm/documents/projects/memory/256kB/ for the C64
expansion documents, or my document page
(http://www.hut.fi/Misc/cbm/docs/) for the HTML version.

If you have a spare MMU, you can even expand the C128 to 1 megabyte. I've done that.
