5.5.2.4.7.2 Prefixing

Prefixing provides the ability to assign a range of real addresses to a different block in absolute memory for
each CPU, thus permitting more than one CPU sharing main memory to operate concurrently with a
minimum of interference. Prefixing is performed with the help of a prefix register. No access control is
performed while translating a real address to an absolute address.
