440 book E idea.

I had this idea for the book e ibm 440xx processors.
Given that book E processors are really 33 bit processors,
could the OS be run in translation state 0, and and the users in
translation state 1?
The advantage to this would be is that user task could have true 4 gb
addressing and so could the kernel.
This is just an idea, and I admitt it might NOT be practical, but
here it is anyway.
