    Yes, but init also does a kill(-1,...) to get rid of all processes,
    before the last steps of system shutdown. So you have to somehow
    make your "page holding" process survive beyond this point.

    You make it a different problem by assuming that you'd have a
    kernel that is specifically built for running at a "safe"
    location. If you assume that you're just using your normal
    kernel, the two problems converge again. There are still a
    few things that are different, like the checksumming, but
    they can safely be added at a later time.
