The thought behind this was that if a master controller supports
memory mapped operation and slave wants to use memcpy in his
driver(bypassing spi ), then we should have a mean to communicate 
between the
master and the slave. So, 'spi_master' seems to be the place for me for 
this data,
which could be parsed in the slave side also.
