"Somebody else also wrote down Storage Class Memory". Don't care.
Google gets 750k hits for Persistent Memory and 150k hits for
Storage Class Memory. This term lost.

The acronym "SCM" is already in use. Socket Control Messages go back
to early Unix (SCM_RIGHTS, SCM_CREDENTIALS, etc). Really, you're just
making the case that IBM already uses the term SCM. You should stop.
