So, this LGTM. There might be ways to not rely on phases to achieve what 
we want to achieve (e.g., let the machine set an internal property on 
memory backends we create from the cmdline), but this should do as well.

I'll wait a bit for more feedback. If there is none, I'll route this 
through my tree (after doing a quick sanity test).

Thanks!
