We don't want to call it "flat", but "linear". "Flat" implies two
dimensions, an X and a Y, like a segmented address structure. Linear
implies only 1 dimension. Therefore, it would appropriately be called a
"linear" address space. But, to answer your question, yes, it is
continuous, no far/near addressing, segments, etc.
