No, I mean in the NAND driver for your specific hardware 
(fsl_elbc_nand.c, mxc_nand.c, ndfc_nand.c, etc).

The BBT is created on the flash.  Linux runs pretty much the same code 
as u-boot and will use the on-flash BBT if its NAND driver specifies 
NAND_USE_FLASH_BBT.  This isn't about in-memory BBTs.
