Was there ever a type of SRB that could run in any address space, picked "at random"? Or have they always been scheduled with a particular address space dispatched (selected by coder)? I have a vague memory of some dispatchable unit which could run in "some" address space, but which one was not deterministic. But maybe the memory is due to a faulty understanding on my part. Wouldn't be the first time. Won't be the last.
