In addition to what as been said in my initial explanation I'll add that making it part of the SPI framework instead of as an extra independent layer is justified by the fact that some controllers support both SPI memory operations and regular SPI transfers, and it's cleaner to have both features exposed through a single driver. For those who want to have the full picture, here is a branch [1] containing the SPI NAND framework based on top of this spi-mem layer.
