Persistent RAM with LinuxBIOS?

[Marc Nicholas]

I seem to remember there are computer architectures that don't actually
lose the contents of their RAM during a soft boot...and with Clever
Tricks(tm) you could effectively start where you left off.

Is this a potential application for LinuxBIOS? Is it actually the BIOS
that's zero'ing the RAM on the PC? Or is it more tightly coupled to a
hardware reset?

(Sorry if this is a lame question).
