I think the other address space needs to be nonswappable.

For what it's worth, you don't need to go through all the rigamarole of an SRB
to go poking around in another address space.
Given the proper authorization, you can:
- Issue an AXSET, specifying a value of 1
- Issue an SSAR instruction identifying the target address space as the
secondary address space
- Use MVCP / MVCS instructions to copy data between your primary address space
and the secondary address space
There is also the technique of using the special ALET value of x'00000001' and
using AR mode to reference data from another address space.
