    I have a system with a region of memory that is battery-backed.

    I'd like to use it as a file system - the idea is to make / read only and
    put files that need to be modified into the battery backed file system....

    I've googled about but found nothing that would do this; just some vague
    references to ramdisks. But then I've found nothing that would let me pin
    a ramdisk into a specific region in memory and keep it there over reboots.

    So... Anyone know of any way to do this?

    Thanks...
