        Well I am not sure, there is a module in 2.5x versions and 2.4.x releases
        called swsusp (software suspend). It allows to 'save' memory to swapspace
        and restore it later. I 'presume' that that modules reads from disk to
refresh the cleared ram and reset internal data pointers in the MM-code.

        Now since the RAM does NOT get erased (otherwise nvrd would not work)
        could one just update these pointers ?
