   Alex explained a scheme to map out 80286 selectors   
   so that they covered the 16 MiB. That can be considered   
   a segment shift too. My calculation is that that would   
   be a 8-bit segment shift.   
      
   I'm wondering whether any 32-bit x86 processor had   
   the same ability. ie since it is a 16:32 address, can you   
   address more than 4 GiB of memory?   
      
   Thanks. Paul.
