Abstract
A microprocessor for providing an extended linear address of more than 32 bits. The extended linear address may be provided by concatenating a linear address with a segment selector extension, or by concatenating the values from two registers. Hierarchical translation of a linear address to a physical address is performed in which the number of levels in the hierarchy depends upon whether the linear address is an extended linear address.
