Hello ZB,

Actually I was hoping it could be "thinner layer"... but, as I wrote, only
know I'm trying to find out, how exactly "virtual x86 mode" works

Basically --- as Eric Auer sort of explained --- a "virtual 8086" is a
special kind of unprivileged protected-mode task, that runs under a
32-bit protected-mode OS (or, if there is no actual OS, a monitor program).

The memory mappings of the "virtual 8086" --- that is, how the "virtual"
1 MiB address space actually maps to physical memory --- and the device
I/O, are governed by the 32-bit OS.

Thank you!
