In split I/D mode (411) magic number.    It is imposible to execute in D space or use regular data access instructions to access i-space.   The addresses are in completely different spaces (i.e, 0 in data is mapped to different memory than 0 in instruction space).  Some access at the kernel level can be done with MFPI and MPFD instructions.

In write protected, non-split more (410 magic), you could read the I space and you could jump in to D space.   You were prohibited to write the i space.

In non protected mode (407 magic) everything was fair game.
