The former.

It's the same concept, no? Not all physical memory is accessible from
real mode.

Well the only case where I remember to have hit a real RMO case is on
the PS3 - that issues a data/instruction storage interrupt when
accessing anything > 8MB in real mode.
So I'd argue this is heavily implementation specific.
Apart from that what I'm trying to cover is that on ppc64 accessing
0xc0000000000000 in real mode gets you 0x0. Is there a better name for
this?
