   Since I can only get 512 MiB for 16-bit programs anyway,   
   I may as well have the mandatory 6 selectors or whatever   
   to address the first 3.5 GiB of memory for 32-bit programs   
   and the rest of the selectors used for 16-bit programs in   
   the other 512 MiB of memory.   
      
   Minus whatever is occupied by video ram or whatever,   
   obviously.
