Rich Goss of Motorola states the '286 and '386 MMUs are not compatible.  This
is incorrect.  The '386 MMU is a superset of the '286 MMU.  (In fact, it's
much better than the '286 MMU.)  Any code running on the '286 will run on the
'386 (unless you used the Intel-reserved fields in the '286 MMU descriptors!)
