Not definitive (in the sense of an emphatic 'disabled in') but you're 
correct, RMI$_PROC returns the same

$ mcr [.OBJ_AXP]RALERT.EXE
CollectProcRMI()
ProcDataSize: 6700
sys$getrmi() %X00000014  IOsb: %X00000014
sys$setpri() %X00000001
%SYSTEM-F-BADPARAM, bad parameter value

Must have drawn a blank on these documented/undocumented items.

Will consider it not doable from USER mode unless advised otherwise. 
Bummer.  Back to the documented ones.
