Back to the point...  It would be possible to implement seperate I&D on
existing x86,  but only for a limited set of programs: those without
(certain types of) shared libraries.

Set a code segment to have the required length,  base 0.
Set a decending data segment to the required length,  top ffffffff

Mind one then has to fiddle with segment descriptors,  which may mean
LDTs or  'interesting' set's entries in the GDT.
