For expand-down data segments, the segment limit has the same function but is interpreted differently. Here, the effective limit specifies the last address that is not allowed to be accessed within the segment; the range of valid offset is from (Effective-limit + 1) to FFFFFFFFH if the B is set and from (effective-limit + 1) to FFFFH is the B is clear; An expand-down segment has maximum size when the segment limit is 0.
