I sometimes get the feeling it would be better to just start treating RAM as secondary storage, with read/write access through a (hardware implemented) io_uring style API. Is there anything along those lines out there?

However as far as I'm aware the "API" to software makes it looks just like regular, local RAM. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compute_Express_Link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compute_Express_Link
