Erase memory on shutdown

[thor]

For any level of physical protection there is an adversary that could 
breach it. So the first stage of protection is physical one, the second 
is the breach detection that initiates clean shutdown. Problem is to 
erase everything on this shutdown.

Or maybe I should start a reboot that hangs on "Enter passphrase for 
/dev/ada0p3.eli" and erases the memory in the process?
