What become more interesting is that while you may have NV RAM, it's not

that hold 80 degrees C in not likely), leaving you with volatile
register and cache but NV Main RAM.
We effectively handle that case now with the suspend-to-ram feature.
A merge of FS and RAM? (didn't the AS/400 have mmap'ed disks?)
Persistant storage systems. These tend to look very unlike Linux because
they throw out the idea of a file system as such. The issues with
debugging if they break and backups make my head hurt but other folk
seem to think they are solved problems
