The 80186 and 80286 include some new instructions for procedure calls and
the like; the 80286 includes an on-chip MMU and instructions to handle it.
Other than that, there are no architectural differences between the 80x86
machines - still only 4 16-bit registers, still a preference for 16-bit
pointers.
