A page describing each instruction along with some text about 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.
