Once you implement memory defragmentation and swapping you can't just do
intersegment calls on an 8086, you can on 286 protected mode. Since playing
with per task LDT stuff on 286 pm is seriously unfunny the first time you
try it I'd strongly suggest getting the 64/64k limited stuff working on
an 80286 pm first
