That's correct - metaphysical mode is [should be] tied to dt,
but you still potentially have to translate instruction and
register stack accesses.

I write "should be" in there because last I checked there were
also some cases where metaphysical mode was set wrongly, which
may or may not be fixed by my PSR handling patch when I get it
working.
