Subject: filesystem for battery-buffered SRAM

Hi,

I have to setup an embedded Linux box that uses 1MB of battery buffered
SRAM to store nonvolatile data.
This memory is directly mapped into addressspace and needs no magic
things to read or write to it.

What might be the best choice for a filesystem and how can I setup a
ramdisk
at a special memory location ?
Is MTD able to access normal RAM devices (no FLASH, but SRAM) ?

Matthias
