Thanks for copying me these mails. I haven't been Cc'ed in the series and
hasn't been subscribed to the SPI mailing list, so I would have definitely
missed that.

I would like to coordinate my efforts with Lars. I'll have the patchset reviewed
soon in addition providing my comments/suggestions of how to make it useful for
both mine and Lars solution.

One thing I can tell about the mem_ops he implemented, is that they aren't
mem_ops, but dirmap (as you remember it's also implemented in my code, but with
alignment specific), and the exec_mem_op partly consists of a code, which belong
to the supports_op() callback. The rest of my comments will be inlined in the
patches.
