Re: Future Linux on Bistable Storage

the alternate technologies that I have heard about are either _far_ less
dense then DRAM (similar to static ram) or require erasing in blocks
(similar to flash).

I will agree with this.

niether one is appropriate for a large, flat addressed
memory architecture as you list below.

I don't agree with this one. Erase blocks don't automatically
disqualify a memory as a fit into a flat addressed arch. You need to
play games at the memory management layer to make it work, but it's
not impossible.
