There are many processor architectures that have different instruction memories for different functional units. 

SoCs often have multiple functional units on the same die. For radios that allows for a pipeline. You can limit what an EPROM will accept with a crypto signature.

This is common stuff.

I agree with this, but have concerns about how you can lock down part of the 
firmware and not all of it.

You still have the problem of telling the chip/algorithm which set of rules to 
enforce, and updating it when the requirements change.
