How many cycles does a RESET take? IIRC 8 cycles. Then, some instructions would need to determine that it was a RESET on purpose, and then, restarting where you left of, taking even more cycles. One could give the 6502 a JMP instruction after a RESET, ignoring the address lines, but this is not completely trivial, either. Overall, this sounds rather expensive to me, so one would try to circumvent changing the MMU. It's similar like on the 286er era PCs, where you could leave the protected mode only by giving a RESET.
