I agree, but the bootloader should be aware of it. I mean, usually
bootloaders at boot, reset the RAM, so you have to tell to the
bootloader that you are using a piece of RAM as persistent RAM, for
example U-Boot has got a specific option CONFIG_PRAM. I don't know if
all the process can be completely transparent to the admin in all
situations.
