While it would make sense to have recovery routines in some nonvolatile memory to handle a system corruption use case, I'm not sure it if would be necessary for a system restart. IIRC, core-based systems had nonvolatile RAM, and I think at least some of them would continue to execute the same memory image after reset. I think the point of the GP was that one of these DRAM based recorders is basically nonvolatile for all intents in purposes in this application.
