Hmm, so computers destined for sensitive environments should blast all
the DRAM in parallel with pseudorandom bit patterns as soon as the power
supplies detect loss of AC.  If each chip could get destructively
overwritten, you could probably pull off a complete wipe by the time Vcc
dropped too low to be useful.
