Yes, there's another one which is OS_SPECIAL it's aimed to let OS parts as 
the multitasking AES read memory of all processes and allow anybody in
supervisor mode to read the 'OS_SPECIAL' program. 
But, unfortunately I don't remember which bit of the 'protection mode word'
it is. I remember that I discover this in the MiNT source itself.
If you don't find any information about it, just have a look into the source.
You can find it into the memprot.c file.
It's available at least in the 1.12 version of MiNT.
(But I'm quite sure that it's in older versions).

P.S. Could you send me the XaAES mailing list address ?
