Tricky, yes. If one can assume a few things about the accesses, it's still
doable, though. (I've done it myself in my QL emulator for the ST/Falcon)

Anyway, worrying about this on a plain 68000 doesn't really make much sense
since there's no way to protect the rest of the system.
On an '030, safe Super()/SupExec() is doable and might be useful. I doubt it
would be easy, though.
