This is interesting.  Is this a necessary restriction, or just a limitation
of the current implementation?  I ask because the IBM on-disk partition table 
has both linear and C/S/H addresses for partitions; and the DOS file system
only uses linear addresses for on-disk structures.  So I wonder what
causes this restriction?
