5.5.2.4.7.1 Dynamic address translation

Bit 5 of the current PSW indicates whether a virtual address is to be translated using paging tables. If it is,
bits 16 and 17 control which address space translation mode (primary, secondary, access-register, or home) is
used for the translation.

The following diagram illustrates the logic used to determine the translation mode. If the DAT mode bit is
not set, then the address is treated as a real address (Virtual = Real).
