Figure 6-18 4KB extended small page or 1KB extended small subpage translations, backwards-compatible format
Using backwards-compatible descriptors, the 4KB extended small page is generated by setting
all of the AP bit pairs to the same values, AP3=AP2=AP1=AP0. If any one of the pairs are
different, then the 4KB extended small page is converted into four 1KB extended small page
subpages. The subpage access permission bits are chosen using the virtual address bits [11:10].
