Huh?  The IIx is missing from the list too, and its applications certainly
run in supervisor mode.  Besides, even if the si and ci don't run applications
in the supervisor mode, (and I thought the 'ci' did run in supervisor mode--
if the 'ci' doesn't, why does the 'fx'?) there are some fairly simple ways
of changing that (i.e. SetTrapAddress, and muck with the stack)
