Does anyone (aside of me) wonder why there is a legal way to aquire
storage with key 14 or 15, but no legal way to switch you own PSW key to
F0 or E0?

Story behind this: Central common information is kept at some places in
SYSGETVIS above- the only way to have a common key that all can access
is key 0 which does have some danger. With a way to access storage in a
key E0 or F0 it can be much much more secure.

Yes I am aware of dataspaces...
