Flash can be made to reduce this problem to arbitrary levels by storing
software-implemented ECC's of any desired length in a side table. Thus, the
degree of error correction available is under software control.
BTW we could implement EROS with static RAM too, and in many cases it is
possible to warm-boot from the existing memory image even in regular RAM.
