Processors didn't do that in those days, not even the 8086!

But what is the USE of it? I mean, I know later processors can, but I
never could envision the benefits of having two blocks of memory in two
different locations instead of one large block.
Can you give me an example of a situation where being able to remap a
piece of RAM from, say $001000 to $401000 would give you a distinct
advantage over not being able to do that?
