 Certainly it could -- it's just a linear chunk of memory that happens to
be SRAM and battery-backed-up.  For example I use my module to keep a
small filesystem useful for diagnostics -- I implemented a Linux driver as
a Memory Technology Device (MTD), which means the board's memory is
presented to a user as a character and a block device.
