You need to bottom post. Sigh!
As far as I understand the kernel sets up minimal segmentation. All the
segments start from 0 and all offsets have limits to 0xFFFFF. So the segment
addresses corresponds to the linear addresses. Even if there is paging enabled
there is segment translation. Please feel free to correct me if I have
misunderstood.
