  You are indeed confused, teD.  3090E processors did not 
have the necessary hardware to implement the 
Private-Space Control(P) bit, which overrides 
low-address protection and fetch-protection override. 
For that reason, MVS/ESA did not map addresses 0-4095 in data spaces
on 3090E processors.  This had nothing to do with prefixing.
The Private-Space Control(P) bit was implemented on 3090S and 
subsequent processors, so MVS/ESA did map addresses 0-4095 in 
data spaces on those processors.
