Possible?

Or technically acceptable to do?


In order:

Yes, with a bit of hacking.

No, it's not technically acceptable bacuse cache coherency issues make
it intrinsically unsafe.  There are also serious security problems that
can result.

It is not recommended in any situation.

Perhaps you could tell us *why* you want to do this, and we can tell
you why it's a silly idea or suggest rational alternatives...  8-).
