Uhm, well, not quite the same, because DTCOOKIE won't figure out where the
internal kernel variables are and won't create pointers to them.

Even if memory protection doesn't currently run on a 68040, I do not think
we should introduce into MiNT anything that explicitly encourages
programs to access someone's else memory, thus be endangered with a bus
error or similar fatal signal.

And still, there _MUST_ be another method that calling GEMDOS from
interrupt.
