So why not integrating this into existing 'perf mem' command if it's all
about analyzing memory accesses?

This document is very terse and only memtions the 'record' subcommand -
also it's not updated throughout the series. So I'd like to suggest
adding a separate documentation patch with full/verbose descriptions at
the end of this series.

You may want to add perf_session__delete() here.

It seems that it also needs to handle mmap[2] events otherwise it cannot
find symbols from an address.
