Maybe there's some ioctls, but hardly standardized.  On the other hand,
if your kernel is buggy/compromised and not wiping memory when new
apps need it, I think you're screwed anyways.

Machines for large financial institutions and businesses process
countless logins every day without explicitly wiping kernel/hardware
buffers.
I think your use of StringIO to wipe a buffer is secure enough :)
