I don't know if it's exactly the format you wanted, but I liked
"Programming the 80386" by John Crawford and Patrick Gelsinger, who were
involved with the 386's design.  It did a good job of explaining how
memory mapping, the protected mode segment registers, call gates for
crossing privilege domains etc. all worked.  I still don't understand
why today's OS's don't use those features.  They would also allow
application programs to be set up like miniature OS's with protected
memory regions, for things like in-memory databases.
