Why not have a RAM disk (yes, I know that is an old DOS idea)
that uses a non swappable buffer? Reasons: It would have to
be implemented as a device driver; it could be standardized
across many platforms; recognized and certified code might be
easier to get installed by administrators; perhaps the concept
could be accepted by OS providers such as MS, IBM, ... and be
part of the operating system.
