Mike:

Bad idea.

First, it's unnecessary; the "empty" code-space is ALREADY filled
with instructions that won't affect program flow.  The PC will just
increment through them until it wraps around to 0000 and hits the
reset vector.

Second, what will those "reset vectors" look like?  Just a bunch of
GOTOs?  How's that going to work on a processor whose code-space is
paged?  Even if you're a little clever about this, it's unlikely that
your "solution" would be more reliable than simply leaving the unused
space in its erased state.
