I'm sorry, but I find this whole discussion a bit overblown.  The ability to 
crash a system certainly didn't surface with 64-bit addressing.  Since this is 
hardly a "mainstream' storage allocation method, it is no more risky than 
allowing programmers to code privileged code, or create thousands of dataspaces 
(or for that matter allowing systems programmers to do so).

There is quite obviously no programming need to hold 64-bits worth of code, so 
the amount of storage available is ultimately based on holding data buffers.  
There isn't necessarily any need to back large virtual storage allocations with 
paging data sets.  This was amply illustrated by using hiperspaces (ESO), that 
simply caused data misses and retrieved the data from the data set.  There was 
no need for paging support.

As for an IARV64 loop ... it's no more risky than a DSPSERV loop.
